conducted another round of layoffs, explaining that it was pulling back from regional and local general news. It already has cut staff in Washington and abroad.Editor in Chief Emma Tucker has conducted multiple rounds of newsroom layoffs this year as part of a broad reorganization. Here, she participates in a panel discussion on the importance of free and safe global reporting during a 2023 conference hosted by the newspaper.
The layoffs of at least eight reporters who covered national and breaking news follow double-digit cuts to staff in Washington and abroad, although the paper has added some positions back in recent months. The union tabulation only covers those represented by the local; others have been laid off as well.“Our Editor-in-chief is reshaping our newsroom with an eye towards digital growth, subscription growth and high-quality journalism,” a spokesperson said in a written statement.
In a memo to staff today, Tucker wrote that the paper had embraced a “reader-first strategy,” and shed focus on regional and local general news. “We have made a lot of changes in recent months, and I can say that we are very much delivering for our readers,” Tucker wrote. “Subscriptions are up, engagement is up, the website and the app and the paper are brilliant and surprising and interesting every single day.
“It’s extremely disappointing that the company continues to have layoffs when every quarter they’re making record profits,” says Jodi Green, president of the union local representing the newsroom.
