NYT Staffers encouraged to take buyouts today

One-by-one, copy editors at The New York Times are learning today that they won't have jobs at the newspaper once the latest round of cuts takes place and are being encouraged to apply for buyouts.

The unwelcome news is being broken in meetings between copy editors and two-person teams of editors, according to a source at The New York Times who has been granted anonymity to speak candidly about the situation.

"People here are baffled and bitter, in part because there was some confusion at first about what the people summoned in to meet with senior editors today were being called for," a source told Poynter. "At first, some thought it was for the promised second interview that was part of the application process for editors whose jobs are ending. It gradually became clear that this was not the case."
