NYT cutting more than 100 newsroom jobs

With the holidays around the corner, New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. will start handing out pink slips to 21 Newspaper Guild members on Tuesday.

The cuts come after the company fell short of its goal of cutting 100 newsroom jobs through from a combination of voluntary buyouts. With the just announced layoffs, the Times appears to be cutting more than 100 jobs.

“Despite having announced its target of reducing newsroom staff by 100 — and accepting the buyout applications of 57 Guild members and nearly 30 excluded employees — the Times told the Guild on Monday it would lay off another 21 Guild-represented employees this week,” the union said in a memo.
