New York Times to Cut Newsroom Jobs

This is a bummer. The Times executive editor Bill Keller has announced that newsroom staff will be reduced by 100, out of a little more than 1000 employees total. The good news, if you can call it that, is that the reductions will be made first “by not filling jobs that go vacant, by offering buyouts, and if necessary by layoffs,” according to Keffer. So I guess that's at least better than dropping the axe and kicking out 100 of your close and personals.
