The Toronto Star has cancelled plans to outsource editing and pagination jobs, publisher John Cruickshank announced in a memo to staff on Monday. The newspaper reached a deal with its union that will keep editing duties within the paper's operations and save about 35 of the 78 editing jobs that had been designated for layoffs. The rest will be cut through layoffs and buyouts. However, Torstar Corp. still intends to contract out the design and layout of the paper's advertisements, along with some "other work activities," he wrote. The company has extended the deadline for some employees to apply for voluntary buyouts, spokesman Bob Hepburn said. TS.B-T rose 4 cents to $6.98.
