New York Times Layoffs Loom, About 50 To Go

The New York Times’ deadline for newsroom employees to accept buyouts is this Monday. According to Keith Kelly at the New York Post, about 50 staffers have signed up. (At least two are coming from the Times’ DC bureau: Stephen Labaton and Neil Lewis.) While that’s more than initial estimates, that still leaves the NYT with the need to make 50 more cuts to reach its headcount reduction goal.
