The News-Leader reports that it will hire about 53 people to provide centralized credit and collections for Gannett at the newspaper’s office, 651 Boonville Ave. McLean, Va.-based Gannett, which owns the News-Leader, also selected an Indianapolis site for a service center.
Some of the jobs may be filled by existing staff, and salaries have not been determined, the News-Leader said. The local center could be operational by March 2009.
Gannett is consolidating services to lower operating expenses, resulting in 275 cut jobs across the country, according to the report.
The two new corporate service centers, however, are expected to bring the net job loss to about 167.
The publishing conglomerate could move other services from its more than 100 sites to the Springfield and Indianapolis centers in the future, the paper said.
