Los Angeles Times cutting 74 positions

L.A. Times to lay off at least 115 people in the newsroom - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

 

Interesting that the layoffs story is behind the paywall.

 

I have a subscription through my employer. Isn't essentially everything behind a paywall for nonsubscribers who have read a certain number of stories in a month?

 

What are the newspaper success stories in taking their journalism to more consumers through documentaries and podcasts?

 

Los Angeles Times to Slash Newsroom by Over 20% (New York Times)

 

No paywall for me on the LAT story.

And they are one of the few places that actually mention their layoffs. No place I've worked (Tribune, McClatchy) dared do so.

That they still had a newsroom of 500ish surprises me.

 

The NYT, I'd guess. And "documentaries," a poorly chosen word, really means, you know, visual storytelling. A 7-minute video.

 

Isn't The New York Times and the others in the "Big 3" (The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post) in a different class than everyone else?

 

At least one loss in sports ... and a big one.
