By Phil Rosenthal
The Chicago Tribune began informing staff it will eliminate around 80 of its current 578 newsroom positions by the end of August and reduce the number of pages it publishes by 13 percent to 14 percent each week. These reductions are the paper's fourth since late 2005, when its newsroom had around 670 positions.
