The stock of the company has plummeted, and the company is implementing major layoffs.

The Gannett stock has plunged from a 52-week high of $7.05 to a Friday close of $2.20 — a 68% loss in value.

According to numerous media sources, including Poynter, the company is laying off 400 or more and the staff cutting has hit the Providence Journal — a newspaper that has been decimated by layoffs, buyouts and forced retirements over the past decade.

In recent weeks, the Providence Journal slashed its community calendar and the business feature - people on the move. GoLocal has filled the void and is now publishing both features.
