PBS President Paula Kerger announced that the nonprofit broadcasting service will cut 13 occupied staff positions and eight vacant ones, and will add six "new or restructured" spots. "Change can be difficult, but I remain convinced that by focusing on our larger goals, we will come out on the other end as a stronger organization prepared to support our mission and stations," Kerger said, according to Current.org.
