Jan 18 (Reuters) - Los Angeles Times plans to lay off a "significant" number of journalists, the newspaper's guild said on Thursday, adding that they would organize a one-day walk-out on Friday to protest against the planned move. The layoffs could impact at least 100 journalists or about 20% of the newsroom in a move to address the paper's financial pressures, the Los Angeles Times reported separately, citing people familiar with the matter.
"The management needs to come to the bargaining table in good faith and work out a buyout plan with us that would first articulate a clear headcount or cost saving they’re aiming for," the guild said in a statement, adding that the management should then try to hit that number with as few layoffs as possible.
In an emailed response to Reuters, the guild said it was unaware of the number of job cuts. "Management has refused to say on the record what it is, which is part of why we're walking out tomorrow.”
"We are disappointed in the Guild’s decision, but respect their right to strike," the Los Angeles Times said in response to an email seeking comment. The job cuts come after the newspaper's executive editor, Kevin Merida, stepped down from his role last week after more than two years.

Die, commie liberal filth LA Times, DIE!
Will they still tout bidenomics?
Thank you for the cheerful post.
Now that’s what I’m talkin bout! yes! Die you yellow dogs.....die!
And here I thought the LAT was going to hire all those newly fired Sports Illustrated writers.
Until death.
LA Slimes going down along with SI—today is filled with wonderful news!
Maybe they finally realized that A.I. can write BS as well as their so called journalist BS. So invest a little money for A.I. and never have to pay an actual Journalist since they weren’t really journalist to begin with. Just hacks,
Looks like there will be a lot of folks “learning to code”.
“And here I thought the LAT was going to hire all those newly fired Sports Illustrated writers.”
Bunch of Tom Smykowski’s, take the fax from the DNC and submit as your own story. The Bobs would ask why can’t the editors take the fax directly from the DNC.
Billionaire getting tired of losing 100 million a year on a paper that influences no one in a city that is dysfunctional and dying.
Earlier today it was Sports Illustrated announcing layoffs.
Now it’s the LA Slimes.
Awesome
Remember when the LA Slimes covered up that video of Obama toasting a terrorist?
I do.
The more the better!!
What is remarkable here...in the 1960s/1970s...the Times broke dozens of stories, and people quoted what they wrote. The last twenty years? They wouldn’t touch any political story if it was a Democrat at fault.
The Los Angeles Times will now have a swimsuit edition.
They will have men as women in burka’s and bikini’s.
All Sports Illustrated Staffers to be Fired

“one-day walk-out on Friday to protest against the planned move”
A futile and stupid gesture.
