Marketing, production and information technology were targeted in the latest round of layoffs. The Post-Dispatch is owned by Davenport, Iowa-based Lee Enterprises. Lee lost $1.5 million in the Second Quarter of 2011, compared to a $3 million profit during the same period in 2010, the Journal reported.
