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.”

Hahahah, the old grey whore she ain’t what she used to be.
“All the news that fits we print!”
You see it your way, I see it mine.
Editing? I thought they just relied on ‘spelchek’?
You must mean spleenchek
I’ve been waiting since 1995 for the MSM to be revealed for their partisanship! That was the year I stop subscribing to newspapers, weekly magazines and Network news as my source for information. They’ve been corrupt for probably more years than that, it’s just the year the light bulb snapped in my head. It was all because of Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton and how the NYC to DC liberal news corridor stood united to protect the pervert known as Bill Clinton and his enabling wife!! Strictly for their power to control. I wrote NOW in 1995 that they were nothing but prostitutes for DNC money.
The term “Quality Control “ at the New York Times is akin to the term “Sanitary Ebola.”
Cut costs by printing on very soft, thin paper, so that it will not only cost less, but hurt less when people use it to wipe their arses.
“All the news that fits our views.”
How many editors do they need to decide where to place on hte page the stories that they get from the DNC or its affiliated organizations?
“Only old people read a newspaper and there dying..”
Maybe that’s why we know the difference between there, their, and they’re, not to mention where commas go and how many periods are required at the end of a sentence.
Turn in the Pulitzer prize you won for denying Stalin’s Ukrainian holocaust, and I promise I will subscribe to your paper.
NYT must be planning to gather news from the cloud.
Having lived through various forms of downsizing and increased workloads and still expected to produce quality products for over 25 years in manufacturing and industry, I must say I feel a slight touch of schadenfreude over the wailing and gnashung of teethics there at the slimes. Okay, a bit more than a “touch.” Hahahahahahahahaha.
Well, La-de-freakin-dah...
See to youze wouldnt want to be use!
What is the sound of the world’s smallest violin......
I am editor. Here me rore!
How many boxes of crayons are being used?
