Tribune Publishing announces newsrooms to shrink five months after five employees were killed at The Capital Gazette in Maryland.
The company fired the entire social team, but they still managed to share a few more tweets.
The layoffs come days after rumors of deep cuts at the storied tabloid.
The decision marks a major shift from its campaign against unionization at the Los Angeles Times last year.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Last week, an analysis of the newsroom's pay structure revealed wide discrepancies along racial and gender lines.
The paper's corporate overlords at Tronc have stood firmly opposed to unions in the past.
An independent investigation found "no wrongdoing," the company said.
The sale comes amid turbulence between Tronc and Times staffers.
Managing editor Rob Moore told staffers he would get rid of people who complained about his behavior, sources said.
"The days of the newsroom passively standing by while management did whatever they wanted are over."
