The Las Vegas Sun laid off nearly a dozen staff members Thursday, blaming its Joint Operating Agreement with the Las Vegas Review-Journal as the reason behind the cutbacks.
In a statement to employees that was posted on the Sun's website, Las Vegas Sun Publisher and Editor Brian Greenspun said the newspaper, an eight- to 12-page daily insert delivered with the Review-Journal, derives most of its revenue from the joint operating agreement with R-J owner Stephens Media.
