John Bowman, who resigned last week as executive editor at MediaNews' San Mateo County Times, says the staff reductions were discussed at an April meeting he attended at the Mercury News along with top editors of MediaNews. The proposed cuts would affect 24% of the 250 member Mercury News staff. Bowman tells John McManus he disclosed the layoff plan and resigned because he's upset with MediaNews' policies of "trying to run newspapers short-handed."
