New York Times Plans to Cut 100 Newsroom Jobs
- daniel-cussen 19y agoThis was going to happen eventually. I'm startled, but not surprised.
- redorb 19y agoIts a tad strange to read such a story, about new york times, on its own website. Guess its a tribute to journalism; to say something hard to say about your own company/industry
- xirium 19y agoI have to disagree. Media people tend to be self-obsessed. They are more likely to publish stories which affect themselves. Indeed, I believe there was a formula: distance from NYTimes office / (severity of incident * people involved) = page number So, one person being stabbed outside the NYTimes office would be front page news while 1000 people in an African genocide would be on page 22.
- bootload 19y agoInteresting note that there is still value in "news". Otherwise Berkshire Hathoway would not have bought into BusinessWire. [0] Newspapers as a form of transmitting news is outmoded and is being left behind by bloggers and other individuals harnessing the superior reach of the Web. Organisations such as BusinessWire aren't as value-adding as they want you to think. [1] They are just the nice business friendly view that organisations are used to dealing with.
