Former Press-Citizen News Director Tory Brecht, who joined the paper in September 2018, said in a Facebook message posted Tuesday that he was one of “many deep editorial/newsroom cuts across Gannett’s family of newspapers this week.” “Going forward, that means the P-C will be run out of Des Moines, by a to-be-determined Register editor,” he continued. Also cut was the editor position at the Ames Tribune – formerly Michael Crumb, now with the Business Record – and Des Moines Register columnist Daniel Finney. The Tribune will be run from the Register newsroom.
