Job cuts across the U.S. newspaper industry will impact the depth and quality of the country's radio and television news reporting, Deseret News editor and writer Lynn Arave pointed out in a column Friday.

While radio and TV stations usually have their own journalists covering news events, they usually do not have the extensive reporting staff that newspapers do, which is part of the reason they gather "significant" quantities of material from papers, as well as wire services like the Associated Press, Arave wrote.

Additionally, as a response to the advertising slump, all three sectors are attempting to do "more with less," he stated in his Salt Lake City-based Deseret News Radio dial column.

"Listen to almost any local morning radio show and you will hear radio news reports spurred by newspaper stories. It happens at times on TV, too," Arave stated.
