BusinessWeek Cuts a Dozen Jobs

AdAge is reporting that BusinessWeek has laid off a dozen editorial and business employees as part of a restructuring.

BusinessWeek laid off a dozen editorial and business employees amid new integration of its digital and print editorial operations. The new structure will be phased in that month.

“For the past three years, we’ve been moving progressively toward integrating our print and digital operations — by increasing reporters’ contributions to BusinessWeek.com, combining our overseas bureaus and copy-desk teams and seating together everyone within a given coverage area,”

said Editor in Chief Stephen J. Adler in an internal memo that was posted on Talking Biz News. “Today we complete that vital transformation by creating a restricted editorial organization for BusinessWeek. The new structure will enable us to collaborate more effectively, take greater advantage of everyone’s abilities, learn new skills and serve our readers and web users better.”

The composition says BusinessWeek has editorial staffers working on both the web and print editions of the news publication.
