Editors and reporters in the New York Times Co. newsroom can no longer keep quiet about their growing frustrations regarding the direction of the paper.
After a pair of letters sent to Executive Editor Dean Baquet and Managing Editor Joseph Kahn by Times reporters and copy editors, the News Guild of New York said the New York Times editorial staff will leave the newsroom on Thursday as a demonstration of solidarity as management threatens jobs.
In the copy editors’ letter to Baquet and Kahn, they say they feel betrayed and disrespected in the newsroom, and ask that management reconsider staffing cuts that are expected as the paper plans to restructure.
“Cutting us down to 50 to 55 editors from more than 100, and expecting the same level of quality in the report, is dumbfoundingly unrealistic,” the letter reads. “You often speak about the importance of engaging readers, of valuing, investing and giving a voice to readers. Dean and Joe: We are your readers, and you have turned your backs on us.”

Popcorn!
WINNING! Coming apart at the seams.
Quality.

NYT should take advantage of opportunity to fire anyone that walks out on the conclusion they quit. Gives them a chance to clean house.
You go right ahead and protest! Protest your little tushies off!
LOL ... too funny
” “You often speak about the importance of engaging readers, of valuing, investing and giving a voice to readers. Dean and Joe: We are your readers, and you have turned your backs on us.””
The Slimes has to turn it’s back because their wallet is almost “dry.”
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud.
Wait, weren’t we told the Times was thriving after the election?
Fake News is generated and reported by fake journalist.
Awe, gee ... Here, let me give you a slice of cheese to go with that whine, you “white privileged” pajama boys.
If more journalists stood up to their overlords the press might regain some respect.
Go for it guys...
I suggest that the NYT should push hard Left ... see of that helps.
The paper of Wreckord
Just switch the presses to Auto-lie take a nap.
I understand there are a few positions that have just opened up at cnn, they should be a good fit.
and expecting the same level of quality in the report, is dumbfoundingly unrealistic,”
But, they’re doing their part, in giving you the best of fake news ... Oh-whoa whoa, sweet lying - you got the best of fake news!
I have ‘t read The Times in weeks - traveling - but the sports action was mildly passable and i always do the crossword. But I’ve picked up the international edition - free usually at the hotel - and it is literally unreadable. Maybe the NYT should focus on putting out a better product.
