"Democrat operatives with bylines" lays off supporting staff after the election's over.
Speaking of whistling past the graveyard!The Times underwent a round of buyouts and layoffs in 2009, but the possible departure of high-level Times staffers signals just how dire the current state of news media is.“In today’s news environment, nobody’s job is safe. Not mine. Not yours. Not Marcus Brauchli’s, who was recently forced out at the Washington Post, which is reason enough for me to reiterate my maxim that everybody in our business should always be looking for their next job,” said Jack Shafer, the Reuters media critic who was fired from Slate last year. “I trust that the great people forced out at the Times will soon get the good jobs they deserve.”
...no one believes this round will be the last… Everyone believes more cuts will come eventually. That’s partly why this round stings so much.”
Meanwhile in another part of the media forest:
Time Warner's Time Inc. will lay off up to 700 staffers out of just under 8,000 total as the publisher's new chief struggles to transform famous titles and massive market share into a digital profit center.
TIME? Is that even published any more? Do you know anyone who reads TIME?
