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.

Hahaha. Watch the rotten rot even more. These putrid freaks all deserve to be on the streets looking for employment. By participating in this odorous organization so as to get a paycheck they colluded in undermining this civil society. They deserve no pity.
Walk out and never go back! I can’t take the winning any more:)
The Slimes has negative quatity. Less of it will be an improvement....
I wonder if the homo-news editor is getting canned. Same for feminism and “climate change” issues?
Gee....how many people does it take to sit around and write lies?

Yikes, they call this quality?! Can you imagine what’s to come?
From my point of view, these hacks object to being treated like hacks, i.e., expendable propaganda generators-for-hire.
They used to write very well and I enjoyed the flow of their prose.
I just wish they would get something right. I haven’t picked it up for 3 decades.
I even enjoyed the opinion pieces of R.W. Appel as wrong headed as he always was. Call it my comedy entertainment for the day.
Basically it is now well written garbage.
They edit the editors.
Reporters believe the sacred calling of journalism precludes market forces. Journalists cannot apprehend market forces. Hence the whiny display. Not that journalists have a hoot about coal miners loosing jobs.
If they did their jobs instead of practicing a failed ideology they may have been a decent paper. If I was the owner of the Times, I would change the focus of the paper to the crossword puzzle and coupons and shut the rest of it down. Sell the building and move operations out to a small store out of a strip mall in Jersey.
The market for Fake News is drying up. Maybe these propagandists can be retrained to be coal miners.
Implosion!
Fake news tears are the best with morning coffee!!!!
The NYT has reporters?....why?
