Citing budget cuts that forced his hand, Denver Post Editor Greg Moore announced the layoffs of six non-union employees: managing editor Gary Clark, political Web site editor Stephen Keating, assistant city editor Cynthia Pasquale, assistant design director Ingrid Muller, online director Mark Cardwell and systems editor Eric Strom. Michael Roberts at Westword has the details.

These are all great, talented people who do more than just work at The Denver Post. Stephen Keating was one of several media professionals who presented at the PRSA Colorado media roundtable event yesterday to talk about PR professionals can be better resources. I just hate hearing this news.
