The Mercury News will reduce its newsroom staff by 40 positions through layoffs that will take place in July, the company announced Tuesday.

The reduction - a nearly 17 percent cut - will leave the paper with 200 newsroom positions, down from a peak seven years ago of about 400.

I really wanted to say something here about the state of our industry, but in the end I just found myself sighing a lot.

So ... sigh.

Best of luck to those at the Merc.

Pretty sure my 7-year-old cousin could run a newspaper chain better than Singleton.

All I can do at this point is send my best wishes to the SJ folks, and hope that this is the last hit they'll have to take for a while.

Augh.
