A well-known newspaper is cutting more Boston communications jobs.

The Boston Globe recently announced its plan to eliminate 42 Boston jobs, mostly managers in advertising, circulation and marketing. The paper also has reorganized the management of its business operations to better integrate the Globe and its Web site, Boston.com.

As part of the reorganization, according to an article by the Globe, Boston.com business managers will now report to Globe Publisher Steve Ainsley instead of the digital unit of The New York Times Co., the Globe’s owner. Globe Editor Martin Baron already oversees both the Globe and Boston.com’s editorial operations.

In June, the Boston Herald announced it would cut 130 to 160 jobs under a plan to outsource printing operations following a drop in circulation, according to an article by Reuters. Press workers, mailers, engravers and paper handlers are expected to receive the brunt of the cuts.

In September or October 2008, following the cutbacks, a Chicopee, Mass. plant owned by News Corp will print the Herald every day except Friday, at which time the paper will be printed by Boston Offset out of Norwood, Mass. The Herald’s competing newspaper, the Boston Globe, had considered printing the Herald but ultimately decided against it.
