The Denver Post is offering voluntary buyouts to try to shrink its newsroom by up to 20 employees, or about 8 percent.

The newspaper reports the move is due to financial pressures.

Employees eligible for the buyouts are those 55 or older and those with at least 10 years of full-time continuous service. The offer includes separation pay based on years of service and health insurance.

Editor Greg Moore said there could be layoffs if not enough employees take buyouts.
