Peter Dunn
The Indianapolis Star has decided to stop running columns by personal finance journalist Peter Dunn and Michael Hicks, an economics professor at Ball State, as part of spending cuts that include layoffs, reports Hayleigh Colombo of the Indianapolis Business Journal.
Colombo writes, “‘Budget cuts and whatnot,’ Dunn tweeted. ‘Six years, 315 columns, and lots of reader emails. Thanks for reading.’
“Hicks, in a tweet, thanked the Star for publishing his column ‘for many years’ and pointed out that he was syndicated in at least 25 other newspapers.
“The cutbacks come weeks after six longtime IndyStar employees departed the newspaper after taking early-retirement buyout packages offered by parent company Gannett Co.”
