N.Y. Times to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs

The New York Times has announced that it will eliminate roughly 100 jobs from its newsroom through buyouts and, if need be, layoffs.

The cuts, announced Wednesday by Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and chief executive Mark Thompson, are part of the Times' larger effort to stem costs and restructure for a more digital future. The Times has already eliminated at least 230 newsroom positions since 2008, even as it continues to staff up on the digital and development side. The new cutbacks should leave the Times with roughly 1,200 newsroom staff.

“The job losses are necessary to control our costs and to allow us to continue to invest in the digital future of The New York Times, but we know that they will be painful both for the individuals affected and for their colleagues,” Sulzberger and Thompson wrote to staff.

I am left wondering just when Carlos Slim ( the fake Mexican millionaire who is really Lebanese) is going to foreclose on his loan to the Slimes

Well, FIRST he will "make him an offer he can't refuse.":o)

From the Internet: Carlos Slim Helú is a Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. From 2010 to 2013, Slim was ranked as the richest person in the world. Wikipedia
Born: January 28, 1940 (age 74), Mexico City, Mexico Height: 5' 8" (1.73 m)
Spouse: Soumaya Domit Gemayel (m. 1967–1999)
Education: National Autonomous University of Mexico (1961)
Children: Carlos Slim Domit, Soumaya Slim Domit, More Parents: Julián Slim Haddad, Linda Helú Atta

============================================

No doubt Carlos Slim has middle eastern roots. But, he was born in Mexico and that makes him Mexican. He also received his entire education there. He's spend his entire life there. He is a MEXICAN.

There were NO indigenous Mexicans. All the Indians there were, a LONG time ago, immigrants to the American continents from Asia. (DNA)
One of the genetic factors they inherited from the Oriental Asians was an allergic problem with alcohol.

Those FIRST Americans from Asia spread ALL the way from Alaska (Inuits) to Tierra del Fuego. The word "MEXICO" comes from the Spanish word "mixta," which appropriately describes modern Mexicans.

You WILL see blue-eyed blonds there too, a DNA gift from the SS who fled Germany 70+ years ago and entered WHATEVER country that would give them safe haven.
I'm fairly sure that mucho dinero greased the way.

Naturally, the "preferred" look isn't the naco look of Asia; it's the most European look. Duh.

From Wikipedia: Naco (fmn. naca) is a pejorative word often used in Mexican Spanish to describe the bad-mannered, poorly educated people or those with bad taste.

The New York Times is missing the obvious ... there are people in India who will write copy for ten bucks an hour...

The New York Times AND their staff have backed illegal, legal and any-and-all other type of 'immigration'...

Why can't they live the way they want the rest of us to live?

Fire 90% of 'em. Flood the country with Indian "journalists' ... or better yet, let Indian replacements work FROM India... remote. And not just the New York Times... ALL the newspapers. Journalists back 'immigration - let them give up their jobs to people who will work cheaper... MUCH cheaper.

The people of the Times want illegals here to take our jobs, why not their own jobs?
