Orlando Sentinel Pink Slips 16 Staffers

Image via WikipediaPoynter.org, via MediaWire, reports that 16 staffers, including a dozen full-time newsroom personnel, have been laid off by the Tribune Co.-owned Orlando Sentinel.

Although the paper has not confirmed the latest round of staff cutbacks, among those set free was Roger Moore (the movie critic, not the former 007 star). Mark Russell (the Editor, not the political satirist) informed staffers of the newsroom trimming on Wednesday. Reportedly, many of the casualties were part of the paper's copy desk.
