Remaining NYT Staffers Get Assurances: No 'Next Round' Of Layoffs Planned

After layoffs last week completed the 100 newsroom cuts executive editor Bill Keller promised earlier this year, it looks like New York Times staffers can finally rest easy and welcome the New Year with a celebratory toast.

On Friday, Keller sent a memo to his employees, promising “there is no further newsroom staff cut planned or foreseen, no ‘next round’ on the agenda.” What’s more, furloughs and the pay cuts taken by staffers this past year will become a thing of the past, so those remaining at the Times will be in the newsroom and working, and being paid as much as they were at the beginning of the year.
