The weekly paper will close and Our Town Downtown will be revived, the New York Observer reports. The arts section of Our Town Downtown will be called New York Press. (Our Town originally launched in 2006 and was merged with the New York Press in 2007 when it was bought by Manhattan Media.) Manhattan Media President Tom Allon said Our Town will “compete with the Voice for hipsters, Downtown Express for community activists, and New York magazine for intelligentsia who care about real estate and their home values.”

At least 21 newsroom employees and 15 pressroom employees were laid off this week. Based on tips and a post by The Strip Podcast, I believe employees from other departments were laid off as well, but I do not have specific numbers. One tip estimates 70 to 100 employees were laid off today. Do you know more? Leave a comment or send me an email: newspaperlayoffs@gmail.com. Emailed tips are anonymous.

Update: Publisher Bob Brown will not say how many employees were laid off, but did tell the Associated Press that employees were laid off from all departments, and the paper will close one press. “Our advertisers and readers will see absolutely no impact at all,” Brown told the AP. “We’re not losing any story count, we’re not losing any pages, we’re not losing any features.” Based on Paper Cuts tips, though, the paper is losing a lot of people, which will affect quality, pages and features.

Two open reporting positions also were eliminated. “In addition, we renegotiated lower rates with most of our syndicates and wire services, and reduced expenses as much as possible elsewhere in an effort to protect as many positions as possible,” Editor Arnie Robbins wrote in a memo to employees.
