Laura Mecoy, who has been in the L.A. office for 14 years, says she's considering whether to relocate her family to Sacramento, where she would be offered a job with the paper. Sacramento Business Journal reports that it's part of the "voluntary separations" that the paper is offering to a few of its editorial staff. Everybody insists that no layoffs are involved (even though folks in the newsroom are feeling a mite uneasy). Also being called back are the Bee's two San Francisco reporters. The Bee's average weekly circulation fell 5.5 percent to 273,609 for the six months ended Sept. 30. The elimination of discounted circulations programs was cited for the big drop. Last month the paper cut 20 positions, most of them in circulation.
