The Oregonian confirmed this morning that the paper will reduce print delivery to three days a week. Publisher N. Christian Anderson III informed staff just before 10 am that the paper will continue to publish seven days a week, but will only offer home delivery on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with the Saturday edition apparently folded into the Sunday delivery. He also announced that newsroom layoffs are beginning immediately. Anderson told staff this morning that the company will inform them by Friday morning whether they are being laid off/Willamette Week. More here.

DFO: I'm glad that this type of drastic action appears to be in the rear-view mirror of the Spokesman-Review. But sad for the journalists affected by this decision in Portland and for the Portland subscribers.

Thoughts?
