More cuts in news gathering

Reuters reported Nov. 20 that the Associated Press plans a 10 percent cut of its workforce next year.

AP Chief Executive Tom Curley delivered the news as part of a "town hall" meeting with employees.


"All areas and ways of doing business are being reviewed," said an
AP statement provided to Reuters. "The AP, which recently instituted a
strategic hiring freeze, may need to reduce staff over the next year.
If so, it hopes to achieve much of the reduction through attrition."
