The Providence Journal yesterday laid off several staffers as part of New Media Investment Group's acquisition of the paper.
Metro columnist Bob Kerr of Fall River, with the Journal for more than 43 years, said he was told at least 20 people lost their jobs. He was one of four staffers called into a meeting with human resources late yesterday morning.
"I was given a severance package with no explanation," he said. "It's tough."
Kerr, 69, said staffers received an email last Thursday saying New Media would "make offers of employment to most of the current employees."
Other staffers in Facebook posts said they had been informed they will be laid off Feb. 18, when all copy editing and page design will be handled out of Austin, Texas. The Providence Newspaper Guild declined to comment.
New Media's $46 million deal to acquire the Journal from Dallas-based A.H. Belo was announced in July. Neither firm, responded to requests for information yesterday.
