New York Times bloodbath could include reporter jobs

Reporters at the New York Times could soon be “vulnerable” to the ax. If the ongoing round of voluntary buyouts being offered to editing staff does not get enough takers, the Gray Lady could begin another round, NYT Executive Editor Dean Baquet recently warned his top department editors.

“Up until now, the company had not indicated that layoffs would happen if targeted numbers weren’t achieved,” Grant Glickson, president of the NewsGuild, told Media Ink.

As part of the NYT’s ongoing restructuring of its editing ranks, 109 copy editors have had their jobs eliminated. There are estimated to be about 50 new jobs available in the restructured editing operation that the Times envisions for its digital- and video-oriented future.

When the downsizing was first revealed in late May, a memo from Baquet and Managing Editor Joe Kahn portrayed the cuts as a “streamlining” of the editing process and indicated that some of the savings would be used to hire up to 100 more journalists.

not necessary to have actual “reporters” when all you do is fabricate fantasy from whole cloth. it’s quicker and cheaper when you just make shite up, so don’t need as big of a staff.

I want the NY Times to continue proving it deserves the scorn heaped upon its poor olde head.
Frankly, it is because I’m so pleased with my TAGLINE.
Also the Times constantly proves how right I am.
Thanks, guys.

They don’t have reporters. They have DNC propagandists.

Ninety percent of their coverage is anti-Trump.

Guess where they will find the personnel to kick to the curb.

The New York Times will be like Yahoo news with poorly spelled articles let alone accuracy.
