NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Three of the most prestigious newspapers in the United States, the New York Times, Boston Globe and Philadelphia Inquirer, announced job cuts Tuesday.
The New York Times Co., which owns the Times, the Globe and a number of other newspapers, said that 500 jobs would be eliminated across the company. The total includes 45 editorial jobs at the Times and 35 at the Globe, Editor & Publisher reported.
Philadelphia Newspapers, which owns the Inquirer and the Daily News, announced that it would try to eliminate 100 editorial positions through buyouts. The plan calls for a cut of 25 in the Daily News' 130-person editorial staff and 75 from the 500 at the Inquirer.
At the same time, the company plans to hire advertising sales people.
"We have to grow our advertising revenue," Joseph Natoli, the company's publisher and president, told E&P.
The Times said that details of its job cuts have not been worked out, although executives expect a mix of layoffs and buyouts.
Like most other newspapers, the Times Co. and Philadelphia Newspapers have been hit by declining circulation and ad revenue as both readers and advertisers turn to the Internet.
