Baltimore Sun Closing 3 Locations


BALTIMORE - A union leader says The Baltimore Sun will move its suburban bureau employees to its downtown Baltimore office and also plans to reduce its staff again.

Brent Jones, a Sun reporter and a unit chairman with the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, says Sun Editor J. Montgomery Cook announced the moves Thursday afternoon at a staff meeting.

Cook and a Sun spokeswoman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Jones says about 15 suburban reporters and editors will move downtown. He says the newspaper is ending lease agreements for its office space in Anne Arundel, Howard and Baltimore counties.

It's not clear how many people will lose their jobs in the next round of staff reductions.

The Sun is owned by Chicago-based Tribune Co., which filed for bankruptcy in December.
