The New York Times cuts pay, lays off workers

The New York Times today had the misfortune of having to run another story on its own financial difficulties.

A couple things jumped out at me about this article.
-It is yet another indication that newspapers are facing tough times as we've talked about before.
-The NYT headline puts a much more positive spin on the story than this Reuters article (notice the NYT headline featured the word "temporary").
-Imagine being a reporter writing a story on a cut in your own pay. Ouch. Hopefully this reporter didn't get laid off. That would be downright sadistic.
