Newsday to cut 45 jobs

Newsday will shrink the staff of its New York City edition by more than half in the face of weak circulation as it cuts 45 newsroom jobs at the Long Island-based newspaper overall, it announced yesterday.

Top editors said a scandal over inflated circulation that has been plaguing Newsday made it difficult for them to argue against drastically scaling back the New York edition, especially as large newspaper chains such as Newsday parent Tribune Co. struggle to improve profits.

A city desk staff of 45 will be cut to 20 or fewer, including perhaps 12 reporters, Newsday top editor John Mancini told staff in the newsroom of the Kew Gardens office. The paper will offer voluntary buyouts.

Newsday is the biggest deceitful mega-liberal fishwrap in existence. Not to mention that it cheats its advertisers constantly with inflated phony circulation figures.

DIE, NEWSDAY, DIE!

Newsday would rather mouth ultraleft drivel than make money.
