Business reporters Roger Bull and Drew Dixon are among those who have been laid off at the Florida Times-Union, the daily newspaper in Jacksonville, reports A.G. Gancarski of Florida Politics.

Before joining the Times-Union, he was a correspondent for the Orlando Sentinel and a government and general assignment reporting for Vero Beach Press Journal, St. Lucie News and Stuart News, all in Florida.

Dixon has also been teaching philosophy as an adjunct at Jacksonville University.

Bull covered everything from real estate to retail and CSX Corp., the large train company based in Jacksonville. He also covered business stories related to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars.

Without Mr. Bull's business notes in the Sunday edition of the Times-Union, any further purchase of the Sunday paper is a waste of money.
