Los Angeles Times Cuts 74 Positions as Advertising Revenue Declines

The Los Angeles Times is eliminating 74 jobs across its newsroom, representing about 13% of total positions.
The cuts come as the newspaper industry struggles with falling ad sales and readership in the digital age.
The L.A. Times Guild, which represents many of the laid-off employees, criticized the decision as “reckless” and “shortsighted."
The reductions will affect editors, copy editors, managers, and temporary workers, but reporting jobs will be spared.
The cuts mark a reversal of fortune for the Times, which added about 150 journalists after it was purchased in 2018 by local billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.
