New York Times Plans Cutbacks in Newsroom Staff
2014-10-02

[NY Times] The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 plans to eliminate about 100 newsroom jobs, as well as a smaller number of positions from its editorial and business operations, offering buyouts and resorting to layoffs if enough people do not leave voluntarily, the newspaper announced on Wednesday.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the newspaper's publisher, and Mark Thompson, its chief executive, said that in addition to the job cuts, NYT Opinion, a new mobile app dedicated to opinion content, was shutting down because it was not attracting enough subscribers.

The reductions, they said, were intended to safeguard the newspaper's long-term profitability.

#3  They're cutting newsroom, but still hiring on the on-line side. The objective is Democratic-sycophancy and spin in half the time it takes to do it via dead-tree. And the Washington Post is doing that with half the staff that the NYT has.

They probably actually believe that.
