This publication has been produced by the County of Berks. Sponsorship provided by Capital Blue Cross and Keystone Health Plan© Central and Reading Eagle Company. 2 Making Berks County a better place to live... County governments have a long history of providing critical services in addition to serving as the citizen’s local government voice and pro- viding solutions that bring communities together. In recognition of the leadership, inno- vation and valuable service provided by all of Berks County’s citizens, volunteers, employees and public officials we would like to provide this informative Guide as a special recognition for their efforts. By successfully marrying environmental stew- ardship with economic development, we hope that the problems we see today will not be problems for future generations. We have high- lighted only a few of the County’s more recent initiatives that we hope will continue the momentum for countywide economic devel- opment while effectively protecting our envi- ronment, preserving our bountiful and productive farmland as well as preserving open space and recreation for our children and grandchildren for many years to come. The Board of County Commissioners in cooperation with the Reading Eagle and Keystone Health Plan Central has partnered to produce this informative County Guide at no cost to our tax payers. We hope you will keep this publication in your home as a handy reference guide.

  • About a Quarter of Large U.S. Newspapers Laid Off Staff in 2018
    EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M. EDT, AUG. 1, 2019 About a quarter of large U.S. newspapers laid off staff in 2018 BY ELIZABETH GRIECO Layoffs continue to pummel staff at U.S. newspapers. Roughly a quarter of papers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or more experienced layoffs in 2018, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. The layoffs come on top of the roughly one-third of papers in the same circulation range that experienced layoffs in 2017. What’s more, the number of jobs typically cut by newspapers in 2018 tended to be higher than in the year before. Mid-market newspapers were the most likely to suffer layoffs in 2018 – unlike in 2017, when the largest papers most frequently saw cutbacks. Meanwhile, digital-native news outlets also faced continued layoffs: In 2018, 14% of the highest- traffic digital-native news outlets went through layoffs, down slightly from one-in-five in 2017. The following analysis examines layoffs at large newspapers and digital-native news outlets during the full 2017 and 2018 calendar years. An earlier analysis by the Center looked at layoffs at news organizations covering the period from January 2017 to April 2018. Roughly a third of newspapers that had layoffs in 2018 saw multiple rounds About one-in-four U.S. newspapers with an average Sunday circulation of 50,000 or higher (27%) experienced one or more publicly reported layoffs in 2018, according to the study, which examined EMBARGOED COPY – NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR PUBLICATION UNTIL 9:30 A.M.
