Baquet blamed the newsroom cuts on rising newsprint costs and declining revenue Incompetence and lack of public trust.

If I buy a parakeet, I'll buy an edition once a week. If I buy a fishstore and lose the ability to read, I might go for a full subscription.

Good news. Let these people get a real job in the real world or go back to college to learn something about history and economics.

You are on the right track, although I would go lower than the board level, to senior and middle managers. It is the big sh*ts who are responsible for what the LAT is and has become, and it will be the small-time farts who will be hit with this layoff.

Are those 85 to go with or without Scheer who already was let go but is one of the main culprits of reader, advertising, profit shrinkage.
Better late than never, but it's a long long way back...if ever.

Oh I think an article on tenure might be good about now. LOL
Course taking corporate bastards to task would be timely. Might be a good way to severe the business relationship too.
