Boston Herald to cut 20 jobs

BOSTON, Mass. (WWLP) - The Boston Herald is looking to cut 20 jobs. The Herald president and publisher says the struggling economy is forcing the daily newspaper to offer buy-outs to employees.

Patrick Purcell said the buy-outs will be offered to full-time editorial and commercial guild employees as well as full-time exempt non-union employees.

Last summer, the newspaper laid off more than 100 employees and outsourced its printing to Chicopee and Norwood.
