Chronicle spokeswoman Lainie Gordon today said the exact number of employees affected in any staff reduction hasn't been determined.

She could not say how soon layoffs might occur.

1. Thanks for this post! As a subscriber I just emailed the paper..

to ask them to be sure NOT to lay off a couple of their good investigative journalists -- like Dina Cappiello who has written some good articles on Houston's pollution problems or the reporters who covered police shootings. Since the paper is so much leaning towards big business and Bush, I often think about cancelling.
