The Hartford Courant daily newspaper is eliminating about 100 jobs including an unspecified number in ValuMail, its direct mail subsidiary.
Most employees affected are being notified this week, said Stephen D. Carver, publisher and CEO.
Tribune Co., the paper’s parent, is operating under bankruptcy protection as a result the media company’s $13 billion in debt, most of which Tribune took on late in 2007 when it became a private business. Tribune had a series of layoffs in 2008, but the current round of cuts at The Courant was forced by business conditions here, Carver said, rather than the bankruptcy.
