The entire staff of
CiN Weekly, the free weekly published by Gannett property
The Enquirer, was let go yesterday. "Over the last few days, they've been re-stickering the outdoor plastic boxes with Metromix labels,"
Cincinnati CityBeat editor and co-publisher John Fox
tells Editor & Publisher. Gannett has made similar moves with faux-alts in Nashville and Indianapolis. On Twitter,
Enquirer editor Tom Callinan confirms the change: "
CiN in print and online will continue with Metromix as dominant brand,"
he writes. "That does not lessen the sadness of layoffs."
