Gannett to lay off 1,400 employees
Gannett Co., owner of The Sheboygan Press, will lay off about 1,400 employees next week as the largest US newspaper publisher continues to try to deal with a struggling economy and its impact on the company's advertisers.
Gannett Co., facing a ``difficult business environment,'' said it would freeze its employee pension plan on Aug. 1, the company announced in a memo Wednesday.
