Steve HermanLA Times staffers say ~150 of their colleagues were laid off today in a Zoom webinar by HR with chat disabled and no Q&A.
As Shira Stein at the SF Chronicle points out, there are now just eight reporters, including her, covering Washington, DC for California newspapers.
Among those let go today by the LA Times -- White House reporter Courtney Subramanian.
Meanwhile Time magazine's union says management today "laid off 15% of our unit members, with additional layoffs in edit and business. We are heartbroken and outraged for our colleagues who lost their jobs."
