I’ve got my feelers out, but no official word on the lay-offs that went down at the Asheville Citizen-Times today. One source told me six people got handed pink slips, but that’s unconfirmed, and I don’t have details.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Gannett Corp. newspaper employees across the U.S. were learning of a similar fate today. Gannett owns the Citizen-Times.
I’ll update as I learn more about the bloodbath.

Thanks for the update, RIFd. Was that all?
C-T cut the Mountain News product and along with it reporters Julie Ball and Andre Rodriguez. The newsroom also lost two from the copy desk. I don’t have the names.
