More cuts at La Opinión

Staffers are saying that the design staff was called into a meeting yesterday afternoon and told that editorial and ad design are being outsourced to an agency in Mexico.

There have been a number of layoffs lately, leaving the newsroom — over 100 people not too long ago — under 40 now.
