The Boston Globe plans to trim its newsroom staff by about 12 percent, editor Martin Baron said in a memo yesterday.The news organization expects to eliminate 50 jobs from its editorial department, which includes the Globe-affiliated Web site, boston.com. There are currently 433 full-time equivalent positions and 379 full-time employees in the department, Globe spokesman Bob Powers said.
| The NYT owns the Globe. Both are going down. Pinchie paid an inflated price for the Globe and now can't unload at a time when the mothership needs the cash. The over/under for both is about six months. |
