A tipster tells us that Southern Progress arm of Time Inc. has been hit again in the current round of layoffs (we reported on a series of layoffs there last month).

More details as we get them.

Meanwhile, Gawker is reporting that Time Europe was “gutted” and that 20 of the 30 members of its editorial have been let go.

In yet another sign of the times, Scott McKim — managing editor of The Hollywood Reporter’s Web site — has left the publication to serve as Web editor for a college in Iowa.

From a tipster:

Managing Editor Scott McKim of The Hollywood Reporter (online) has left… to be the Web editor of a college in Iowa.

Confirmed with news director Dan Evans. When I asked when to call to verify his replacement, he just laughed.

With no one safe in media anymore, we might all soon be following McKim’s lead.

We told you on Friday that we’d been receiving a number of tips regarding layoffs at Forbes. FBNY can now confirm that ForbesAuto.com was discontinued and the personnel there were laid-off. ForbesTraveler.com, which people had been speculating had been folded, was actually scaled back — we’re told some employees were let go, but that the site will continue. A spokesperson from Forbes also tells us that overall the layoffs for the Web were not “significant.”
