The New York Times Co. is considering charging fees for access to some Web site content, its chairman said Thursday, according to a story appearing on the Web site of the Asbury Park Press of New Jersey.

The Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper will be printed at the plant just north of Denver that formerly printed the Rocky Mountain News, and 48 jobs will be eliminated in Fort Collins, according to reports published Wednesday.

Despite official announcements that no decisions on the paper’s fate have been made, Seattle Post-Intelligencer staffers learned this afternoon that boxes and bins for packing up are scheduled to be delivered to the newsroom later this week.

Officials at newspaper publisher McClatchy Co., which owns the Miami Herald among other properties, said Monday they will cut 15 percent of the company’s work force — or about 1,600 positions. The move includes the elimination of 128 jobs at the chain’s hometown newspaper, The Sacramento Bee, where pay cuts will be imposed on remaining workers.

Concessions by union workers at the Sacramento Bee will save 19 jobs, but the ax likely will fall anyway for 34 of their colleagues.

Owners of the San Francisco Chronicle are reportedly threatening to cut at least 225 jobs if the union that represents journalists doesn’t meet its demands. Most of the jobs cuts would come from the newsroom.

In addition, the Fresno Bee plans to layoff up to 26 of its 90 rank-and-file newsroom employees to cut costs if union members do not agree to a salary reduction plan, the newspaper reported this week.

Meanwhile, its sister paper in Texas, the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, said it is cutting staff and wages, blaming unprecedented revenue declines amid the recession.

Staff members chosen to participate in an online-only version of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, were notified of their selection Wednesday and Thursday. The selections indicate The Hearst Corp.’s plan for such a Web site is advancing.
