They are doomed, but notice of mass firings hasn't been filed so they've presumably got at least 60 days to slowly twist in the wind.
As soon as I find an apartment, I'm getting a subscription to the NYT.

They aren't allowed to do mass firings, which is one of the problems with newspapers. You shouldn't give writers tenure because they start mailing it in, and you can't afford to hire new talent since you have all the old guys still, forever. When your columnists don't change for 30 years, that's not necessarily a good thing. |

I meant mass firings in terms of closing the newspaper as closing the newspaper involves terminating the employment of everyone there... and there are laws and procedures regarding that sort of thing. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
