Job cuts at the New York Times will exceed the stated goal of 100 newsroom positions eliminated, the Newspaper Guild of New York said yesterday in a memo to union members.
According to the guild, the Times said yesterday it will lay off 21 union-represented employees starting as early as today, after 57 guild members and roughly 30 non-guild members accepted buyout applications. That amounts to more than the 100 newsroom positions the newspaper said it needed to eliminate as a cost-cutting measure on Oct. 1.

Are the numbers significant or trivial? No clue on how they compare to the whole company.

The Times promoted hope and change to the max.
Now all the rag is ending up with is the dope and shortchanged.

The Dinosaurs continue to hemorrhage. Being way out to the Left/Progressive/Liberal field is costing them mightily.
Hasten their demise by boycotting their advertisers and not clicking on their websites.

Woo hoo.
Being laid off sucks for anyone, but I’m sorry, NYT types, you volunteered for, and took money from, an enemy of this country.
May the NYT join Yugo, it’s automotive quality counterpart.
To: Zakeet
these are the guys who keep telling us how rosy the economy is. Should be easy for them to get a new job. It’s pretty tough to find journalism majors out there. \s

My advice to the ny times is to be much more liberal than they already are.
Heh.
