Photographers who covered Maui wildfires among latest round of newspaper layoffs
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Big news involving Hawaii’s largest daily newspaper.
The publisher of the Star-Advertiser intends to lay off six newsroom staffers, including the paper’s remaining staff photographers who documented the Maui fires.
This all comes after a round of job cuts there last summer that led to buyouts for four editorial employees.
Oahu Publications, which just got bought by Carpenter Media Group in March, informed the Pacific Media Workers Guild about the new cuts this past weekend.
The Guild said in a statement, “These losses cut deep at our ability to continue serving communities across Hawaii.”
