The New York Times said Monday that it hopes to slash 30 managers and nonunion employees and offered buyouts to newsroom employees, weeks after agreeing to a new contract with the Newspaper Guild.
The cuts would be the most extensive since the newsroom slashed 100 jobs in 2008. It also cut 20 jobs last year.
In a letter to the staff, executive editor Jill Abramson urged 30 managers who are not members of the union to accept severance packages and said the paper is cutting back on expenses, like leases on foreign and national bureaus, the Times reported.
