The cuts keep getting deeper at the Los Angeles Times, as LA Now's Veronique de Turenne was among the 75 staffers handed a pink slip on Monday, along with film critic Carina Chocano, scribes Lynell George and Agustin Gurza, and many others.
Cuts represented 10% of the paper's editorial side. That's getting to be a rapidly diminishing number... but of course, the paper is rapidly diminishing in size.
A sidenote: The paper has gotten so thin now that my home's sprinklers now regularly soak it all the way through. Not too long ago, there were enough ads and sections that at least the meat of the paper wouldn't get wet. Not anymore.
