LA TImes lays off more than 100

If you want the unconfirmed numbers, check out Ink-Stained Wretch's Web site with a list of all the names. From LA Observed:

David Haldane was a reporter at the Times for 23 years, the last 16 in Orange County. "Yesterday (Monday) was my last day; I’m gone, gone, gone… as my supervisor accompanied me on the last slow walk down the long dark hall to the HR office, it felt a lot like a long walk to the gallows. I was – and to some extent still am – in shock."

My favorite was this little anecdote, oh-so-typical of muckety-mucks not thinking clearly.

I'm told there was quite a scramble in Sports Monday night when the only two designers on duty were laid off three hours before deadline.

Tacky!
