Plain Dealer biz editor is laid off

Randy Roguski, the business editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer since early 2009, is among those who have been laid off at the Newhouse paper, sources have confirmed to Talking Biz News.

Other layoffs are occurring on Wednesday. Roguski had been at the paper since October 1995.

Roguski had been acting business editor since Paul O’Donnell, the previous business editor, took the paper’s buyout offer in 2008 before becoming the permanent business editor in January 2009.

Roguski had been deputy business editor at the paper under O’Donnell. He is a graduate of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill.

Roguski has worked as a reporter, copy editor, news editor, state editor, bureau chief and deputy metro editor at papers in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Florida and Ohio
