The Minnesota Star Tribune has implemented layoffs and buyouts affecting 24 union employees. These reductions are part of a larger company-wide initiative to decrease its workforce by approximately 15 percent. Most of the affected positions were within the newsroom, leading to an 11 percent reduction in news staff. However, no core news-gathering roles like reporters or photographers were eliminated. The company stated these changes are aimed at positioning the organization for long-term sustainability as a digital media company.
