Newspaper woes hit Glens Falls newspaper

We blogged a week or so ago about the Plattsburgh Press-Republican’s belt-tightening. Now the Glens Falls Post-Star is laying off eleven employees, including members of the editorial staff.

Publisher Rick Emanuel was quoted by the paper hoping for better times ahead:

“We hope that the tourist season, along with the glimmer of hope that’s being seen in the stock market, will speed the recovery process. If things should turn around in the near future, we will consider all employees that we’ve let go for potential openings.”
