AP Layoff Count Hits 90, Meets Goal
The count of Associated Press union employees laid off this week has risen to 90, which, according to the news cooperative, meets its goal of cutting annual payroll costs by 10 percent. It is the AP’s largest cut in newsroom layoffs in memory, roughly 2 percent of its workforce.
E&P’s previous count on Thursday had the layoff total at 71, according to the News Media Guild, which states that an additional 14 employees received termination notices Wednesday.
