Media Cuts at the Times

Posted by Eli Sanders on Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 10:15 AM

Not the Seattle Times, though unfortunately that too would be a believable headline at the moment. Instead, it's the New York Times:

Facing a steep drop in revenue, The New York Times Company plans to cut the pay of most employees by 5 percent for nine months, in return for 10 days’ leave, and will lay off 100 people and make other budget cuts, executives said on Thursday.

Perhaps another Mexican bailout is in order.

All right, all right. I just took the plunge and signed up for Sunday delivery. I'm dreading the piles of paper around my apartment, but I want to support the NYT. Yay crossword!

I wish it was the New Yorker and they were laying off that insipid Anthony Lane guy who writes all those inaccurate and insipid movie reviews ...

They don't deliver it to where I get it.

Unlike you, I have other options.
