                  Wisconsin Jewish paper makes cutbacks

                  NEW YORK (JTA) - The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle will switch from a weekly to a monthly publication.
                  Some two-thirds of the newspapers staff of six has been laid off and a full-time job reduced to part-time job, according to the Chronicle, which made the announcement Tuesday on its Web site.
                  The decision, made by the Milwaukee Jewish Federation that publishes the newspaper, comes following a federation decision to discontinue the Jewish Chaplaincy Program and the Wisconsin Jewish Conference.
                  The 88-year-old newspaper is mailed to about 8,000 homes. The federation subsidizes the Chronicle at about $25,000 a year, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
                  "This is not about federation cuts but what's going on in the newspaper industry today," federation spokeswoman Laura Barnard told the Journal-Sentinel.
