'Times-Picayune' Makes Big Staff Cuts

For more than 200 staffers at the New Orleans Times-Picayune, September 30 will be their last day at the paper.

The Times-Picayune announced a couple of weeks ago that it would be cutting its print schedule to three days per week, making New Orleans the largest U.S. city to not have a daily paper. At that time, there was talk of layoffs. The cuts are deep.

The paper said yesterday that 84 of 173 people in the newsroom would be let go.
