Changes at the New York Times
EmailMore troubling news today about newspapers. Gannett, the largest newspaper chain owner and the company behind the USA Today, reported a 60 percent drop in profits.
For those of you that read the New York Times, there is also news for you. The paper is trying to cut costs and that means cutting sections. The paper’s editor Bill Keller announced that the Friday "Escapes" section is going away. So are the specific regional sections — such as the New Jersey or Connecticut sections — that ran on the weekends.
In a memo to staff Keller wrote the changes are all apart avoiding even more pain: "The hope and expectation remain that the pay cuts and the spending cuts outlined above will get us through the year without the need for other significant reductions."

The sections they are getting rid of are the only reason I still read the NYT. They do an amazing job with their once a week special sections – Science, House & Home, Real Estate, Dining Travel etc. It’s the ‘news’ and editorials that can go. Their coverage has been so slanted for so long they’ve relegated their audience to Upper West siders. No wonder they’re having a tough time.

Good bye Times and Good Riddance lefty rag. Ofcourse, since this is reported by ABC how do we know any of its true? After watching the “If I only had a gun” anti-gun propogranda friday night, Im through with ABC.

Don’t let the left swinging door hit ya on the way out!! I am glad to see that rag mag go under. Hopefully msnbc and cnn will soon follow the same path. Maybe then we will actually get real non partisan news.

I hope for your sake that you are all now reading the financial Times.
You all shout so loudly “Empty vessels making the most noise” you are not reading about World affairs and seeking ways of being creative or inventive.
President Obama never claimed to turn things around just by touching it – perphaps the reason you are having problems with ABC’news is that you are failing to understanding what led to the current mess we are in.
And while you are getting an education in World Affairs – check out the meaning of the word liberal and which category you fall into.
Have you tried to find out what your politicians in your various States have been up to – What is it about human nature that we are quick at blaming others instead of finding creative ways of resolving problems.
Do your homework
