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.”

First CNN, now NYT’s domino effect...
Why do they 100 editors, if “all” an editor does is read and revise and approve what the writers actually research and produce? They need 100 editors to approve 300 new articles a day?

The NYT has reporters?....why?
They lied. I'll bet those 'thousands and thousands' of digital subscriptions came from dem war rooms and George Soros. Not from sources that would support their advertisers.
In the real world The New York Times would be in bankruptcy
Some billionaire from south of the border is propping them up..
50 to 55 editors still sounds way too high...especially since they don’t appear to do anything.
Only old people read a newspaper and there dying..
There just there so ABC< CBS<NBC< etc can say the New York Times said this today...they repeat the fake news..
“an internal report in which the copy editors were compared to dogs urinating on fire hydrants.”
actually, quite an accurate simile when you think about it, namely copy editors editing the fictional tripe churned out by NYT “reporters”.
The entire staff is to blame for the failing balance sheet and the cause is entirely predictable. Once the famous NYT became a yellow journalism rag, full of fake news in the News sections, many respectable and educated readers on both sides of the aisle opted out.
Who needs all of these people just to pump out leftist fake news?
Buzzfeed does it with a fraction of the staff.

“That’s a shame”.....
What quality?
Ping!
oh, the horror. the horror.
The Old Gray Mare ain’t what she used to be! Little Pinch is deeply saddened.
“NYT should take advantage of opportunity to fire anyone that walks out on the conclusion they quit. Gives them a chance to clean house.”
They’d just rehire people like Jason Blair.
How many people does it take to reprint DNC press releases?
