From a letter to the editor that appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune:
If a smaller design staff means fewer, smaller photos and graphics, I say, hurrah — that leaves more room for news. And whenever I start grumbling about typos or misplaced modifiers, I’m going to be thankful for the bigger picture and excuse these minor faults.

From a bunch of twitter accounts it looks like two people at least have been let go at the Tribune. Not sure who or what department or how many are yet to come. Any Trib people know anything?
I found it on Ben Winslow’s twitter that has links to a bunch of Tribune employees talking about it: http://twitter.com/benwinslow
