SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The trio includes managing editor for news Hanke Gratteau, public editor Timothy McNulty and Washington bureau chief Michael Tackett, Chicago Tribune Editor Gerould Kern said in a note to the newspaper's staff published Saturday.

"Hanke, Tim and Mike each made enormous contributions to the success of the Chicago Tribune during their exemplary careers", Kern said. "During this difficult time, they have performed with grace and consummate professionalism for which I am deeply grateful. We wish them the very best in the future."

Tribune Co. has said it expects to eliminate 80 newsroom positions in the current round of cuts, which is the newspaper's fourth in three years. Other departments are making cuts as well, the Tribune said.

"As (Tribune Co. executive vice president for publishing) Bob Gremillion said last month, the unprecedented decline in revenue across the company means we must take decisive action", Kern wrote. "We are committed to completing this process as soon as possible so we can focus all of our attention on the future."
