Times-Picayune Editor Jim Amoss Speaks About Layoffs

On Tuesday, New Orleans-based newspaper The Times-Picayune announced layoffs of 200 jobs which will impact 200 staffers this fall. Plus, after 175 years in print, the paper is reducing its printing to three days a week as it focuses more on online news.

Jim Amoss spoke to PBS about the change and indicated, “Many readers can’t imagine a morning without our newspaper in their hands. I understand that. I’m a print guy. I grew up in this business.”
