Gannett Corp. has laid off the editorial staff of the Amarillo Globe-News, its local paper of record. This move follows a trend of staff reductions in for-profit news organizations across the country. Internal memos from September indicated USA Today, Gannett's parent company, was planning staff cuts and reorganization. The Amarillo Globe-News now relies on staff from the Lubbock Avalanche Journal or non-local USA Today Network journalists for its coverage. This development raises concerns about limited local news access for millions of Americans.
