New Blog Tracks Cuts At DBJ Parent

Aping a similar effort about DMN layoffs, an anonymously written blog has popped up tracking job turmoil at American City Business Journals, which owns four Texas papers including the Dallas Business Journal. It contains these nuggets: 5 percent pay cuts have been mandated starting June 1 for ACBJ employees making more than $35,000, and existing salaries will be frozen. Also, staffers at the business journal in Seattle reportedly were threatened by the publisher with firing if they talked or blogged about the company’s cutbacks.
