The Times Make Staffing Cuts

A little more on print vs. online journalism...While I and everyone else who pays attention to journalism trends is well aware that online news is becoming increasingly popular while the print medium is going down the tube, I wasn't entirely aware of the fact that large newspapers such as The New York Times were also suffering from the trend. Just last week the Times announced they would be cutting a significant amount of jobs from its newsroom, and a couple weeks prior, they announced a freeze on all new hires. I know they've run into some budget issues, but I'm still somewhat surprised to find that a paper with such a wide ranging audience and well respected reputation is still affected by the success of online journalism.
