TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
Layoffs at the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky on Monday included Jeff Beach, the business editor, and long-time biz reporter Jim Jordan, according to multiple sources.
Jordan reported on general business issues, including banking, insurance, and bankruptcies, for the Herald-Leader. He earned a BSJ from West Virginia University in 1969 and an MSJ from Murray State University in 1972.
Jordan, who had been at the paper for three decades, had been writing a blog called The Buzz that included items that didn’t make it into the paper. His last post was on March 18 — five days ago. He also wrote a regular column for the paper.

Both Jeff and Jim were helpful to me when I interned at the Herald-Leader. It's sad to see this happen to good people.
