N.Y. Times to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs
Politico ^ | 10/1/14 | DYLAN BYERS

Posted on 10/01/2014 9:54:30 AM PDT by jimbo123

The New York Times has announced that it will eliminate roughly 100 jobs from its newsroom through buyouts and, if need be, layoffs.

The cuts, announced Wednesday by Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and chief executive Mark Thompson, are part of the Times' larger effort to stem costs and restructure for a more digital future. The Times has already eliminated at least 230 newsroom positions since 2008, even as it continues to staff up on the digital and development side. The new cutbacks should leave the Times with roughly 1,200 newsroom staff.

“The job losses are necessary to control our costs and to allow us to continue to invest in the digital future of The New York Times, but we know that they will be painful both for the individuals affected and for their colleagues,” Sulzberger and Thompson wrote to staff.

Why keep reporters on the payroll when all you do is repeat what the govt tells you to?

“It’s my opinion that the Rag is being kept alive by donations from wealthy, visible and invisible Democrats.
That WOULD include Hollyweird.”

I am left wondering just when Carlos Slim ( the fake Mexican millionaire who is really Lebanese) is going to foreclose on his loan to the Slimes

Bezos has money to waste from other sources. He’s but a sugar daddy.

Give 100 monkeys 100 typewriters, and eventually one of them will win the Pulitzer Prize.

Everyone who decided to go into “journalism” in the last 10 years are idiots.
