Unfair Park and Poynter have both blogged this morning about impending job cuts at McClatchy, parent company of the Star-Telegram. In a release, McClatchy said it’s trimming its payroll by 10 percent through both voluntary and involuntary separations. The Kansas City Star — the S-T’s long-time sister paper in terms of size and demographics, has already announced its intention to cut 120 jobs. Don’t be surprised to see a similar announcement out of West 7th Street today.
