Recently the New York Times announced it was eliminating 100 newsroom jobs. I suppose as a stockholder I should be happy; company stocks rose on the news.
Spokesmen for the paper said, “The job losses are necessary to control our costs and to allow us to continue to invest in the digital future of The New York Times….”
Really. The digital future. The last year I taught at East Stroudsburg University, students told me they no read an actual paper, they got their news from the digital edition. Unfortunately, they didn’t know a damn thing about what was happening in the world.
