The New York Times is warning its staff that budget cuts and staff reductions loom as the paper looks ahead to the future, according to a study by the outlet about how the newsroom will operate in the future.
Dean Baquet, New York Times’ executive editor, and Joe Kahn, managing editor, said that the outlet’s transformation would require budget cuts and lead to a “smaller and more focused newsroom,” a move that will prompt buyouts and layoffs, which are expected this year.
"We view this moment as a necessary re-positioning of The Times newsroom, not as a diminishment,” they said.
The move comes after the paper ended its regional coverage of art galleries, restaurants, and theaters in the tri-state area, causing dozens of job cuts. It was a sign of things to come when the newsroom slashed more jobs in November, the Wrap reported.

Baquet and Kahn said that most of the cuts will be applied to “duplicative and often low-value line editing,” which will lead to reductions in the editor ranks.
“Let’s not be coy,” they wrote. “The changes will lead to fewer editors at The Times.”
The Times did say, however, that it will invest $5 million toward covering President-elect Donald Trump and his administration.

NYT, you have missed the boat on what the American people want to read, and not your elitists left tyrants like the Clintons and Obama’s. The real reason you are losing because you print false news .. we want factual contents and not half truths or lies. You are like the cereal channels, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, spew out talking points verbatum. We see it we turn you off, and we don’t read your crap, or garbage...if you want take a real poll, and see want we really want from you...it might help you stay in business.
Might be better if you just closed up and shut it down.
Warns? The New York Times is warning ME that it’s on the loser track? I don’t consider that a warning. I consider it good news.
Their eventual demise is close....hopefully!!
Trump should setup an open sided circus tent in some obscure part of the Whitehouse grounds and call it the new newsroom.
Oh, and build a very tight security fence around it with port-a-potties within a 5 minute walk, as required by law.
You’ve stolen a march on me but you did it up with some really good Trump cards.
Thanks. You’re obviously as twisted as I am. :-)
