New York Times To Eliminate 190 Jobs

NEW YORK - The New York Times Co. is cutting 190 jobs at its flagship newspaper and its New England publishing group, which includes The Boston Globe, the company announced Wednesday. The cuts represent about 1.5 percent of the company's total work force.
About two-thirds of the job cuts will occur at the Times, with less than two dozen coming from the newsroom, the company said in a statement. The newsroom jobs will be eliminated through a voluntary program, the company said.
In addition to the Times and the Globe, the other company units to be affected by the job cuts include the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and Boston.com, which are part of its New England group.
Toby Usnik, a company spokesman, called the cuts "part of an ongoing effort to streamline our operations and lower costs. It's partly a reflection of the advertising climate, which has been difficult over the past couple of years."
