Financial Week staff to be cut

Keith Kelly of the New York Post reports that the decision to cut Financial Week‘s printed publication and go with an online-only strategy will result in the majority of its news staff beind laid off.

Kelly writes, “The bulk of the layoffs were at two-year-old Financial Week, the award-winning weekly, which published its last print edition on Dec. 7 and will now be only a digital publication.

“As a result of the move to digital-only publication the editorial staff is shrinking from 18 people to four. The laid-off include the launch Editor-in-Chief Glenn Coleman. At Ad Age, the cuts included four editorial people and two business people.”
