Updated 20/12/08 re Derek Ruttan
The London Free Press has lost 13 employees, including two in the newsroom, only days after learning its Sunday paper is being axed.

The editorial losses are:

Derek Ruttan, a photographer at the paper since 1998; (His job has been saved with a buyout for photographer Ken Wightman.)

Bill Scriven, copy editor. He moved to London in June from the Woodstock Sentinel-Review, where he was managing editor.

The remaining 11 employees and their positions to come.
