Downie to Posties: 'No Layoffs'

On the agenda for this afternoon’s all-staff meeting at the Washington Post: The latest Pugwash and “progress on readership and diversity initatives.” Is a “readership initiative” a new way of saying “arresting the free-fall of our circulation numbers”?

> UPDATE: The Post’s Executive Editor, Len Downie began this afternoon’s meeting by saying, “I have two words for you: No layoffs.” All through, there weren’t many fireworks — in contrast, you might remember, to the last Post staff meeting after the hiring of new ME, Phil Bennett.
