Press Herald to lose three political reporters
By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com ReporterThe Portland Press Herald will be losing three of its seasoned political reporters, reports Al Diamon who writes the Media Mutt blog for Downeast magazine. Diamon cited anonymous sources with the paper.
State House reporter Paul Carrier and political reporter Kevin Wack are two of six reporters who have accepted a buyout from the paper. In addition, Washington, D.C. reporter Jonathan Kaplan has been laid off.
The Press Herald is cutting a number of jobs as part of their recent round of budget cuts.
Press Herald bureaus may also be closed -- including the Washington, D.C., and Augusta offices, Diamon writes.
PPH editor Jeannine Guttman could not be reached immediately for comment.
