Los Angeles Times to cut newsroom by 10%

Los Angeles Times to cut newsroom by 10%

The Los Angeles Times will lay off 10 percent of its newsroom staff, or 75 employees, as financial turmoil continues to haunt the entire industry, The Times announced Tuesday.

This is the newspaper's third round of newsroom layoffs this year, and is part of a 200-employee reduction that started last week.

The previous staff cuts happened in February and July, in which 100 positions, and then another 135 jobs were slashed, respectively, The Times reported.

The job cuts this week bring editorial staff numbers down to about 660. That number was highest in 2001, when 1,200 people worked in the newsroom, according to The Times.
