The Los Angeles Times gives pink slips to close to a quarter of the people working in its newsroom. The Media Guild of the West, which represents the Times' unionized journalists, says that the cuts included reporters, editors and columnists. The layoffs follow the resignation of executive editor Kevin Merida and other senior newsroom managers. TIME is also laying off about 30 employees, which accounts for approximately 15 percent of its editorial staff. At TIME for Kids, the platform’s publication for school-age children, a majority of the staff was let go.
