Tennessean follows through on job cuts
Longtime newsroom employees among those notified of termination
[Updated with total number affected and more names]
The Tennessean today has eliminated the jobs of six editorial employees and 25 other staffers. Bob Faricy, vice president of market development for the newspaper, confirmed the numbers late this afternoon.
Newsroom sources say that among the journalists losing their jobs are several who have worked for the paper for more than 15 years.
The cuts follow the announcement last week that up to 35 positions would soon be cut and that 25 currently open positions would go unfilled. The reductions are part of system-wide cost-cutting efforts by parent Gannett Co., the nation's largest newspaper chain.
Attempts to reach a spokesman for the paper have so far been unsuccessful, but it is known that the following newsroom staffers are departing:
* Ricky Rogers, a photographer and photo editor who has been with the paper since 1978.
* Bill Greer, daytime copy chief, who has been a copy editor at The Tennessean for at least 17 years.
* Drew White, who has been in the graphics department since at least the early 1990s.
* Aldrin Brown, college sports editor.
* Kevin Paulk, assistant news editor.
* Janet Shouse, a copy editor who has been at the paper since the 1970s.
Also losing her job was a woman who had worked in the mailroom for 35 years.

From Charles Apple: Laid off in Rochester: copy desk chief Jann Nyffeler
Yet another stunningly boneheaded move by someone: Jann Nyffeler is out at the Rochester, N.Y., Democrat & Chronicle. She’s just one of more than 1,200 layoffs made this week by Gannett.
0907jannnyffelermug
Jann posted to her Facebook page Thursday evening:
Jann Nyffeler is unemployed. They got me, guys.
Jann has been in Rochester nine years. Her title recently has been “Lead Conversion Editor,” but it’s still chief of what you’d call the copy desk.
A 1988 graduate of the University of Nebraska, Jann spent eight years as a copy editor at the News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C. She became team leader for the copy desk of the Wichita (Kan.) Eagle in 1996 and then moved to the Dallas Morning News in 1999.
She doesn’t blog often these days, but when she does, she posts here.
