The editor and publishers of the LA Times are in a bit of a standoff with the paper’s owners over job cuts in the newsroom.
“I am not averse to making cuts,” Mr. Baquet told the paper. “But you can go too far, and I don’t plan to do that.”
The paper reported that Scott C. Smith, president of the Tribune Publishing division, had asked the paper’s executives to come up with a plan for trimming their budgets, but when Mr. Smith visited Los Angeles late last month, they had produced no such plan.
Mr. Baquet “made his opposition to further cuts clear and said there was no need for further discussion,” the paper reported.
While it’s not clear how many cuts the Tribune Company wants the Times to make although the company has already cut over 200 jobs in the past five years.
