This just in Tuesday:
The New York Times plans to narrow the size of its flagship newspaper and close a printing plant, resulting in the loss of 250 jobs, the company said in a story posted on its Web site late on Monday.
The changes, set to take place in April 2008, include the closure of a printing plant in Edison, New Jersey. The company will sublet the plant and consolidate its regional printing facilities at a plant in Queens, the paper said.
The newspaper will be narrower by 1 1/2 inches. The redesign will result in the loss of 250 production jobs, the company said.

Staged photo?
Staged? Maybe, given it's the NYT. Either way, it's well past time to lump all of those clowns in with the bad guys. I would not shed a tear for the photographer if he shared a Hellfire or two with the shooter.
Too often, 'reporters' aren't reporting anymore. It reminds me of the 'news' crew that was tipped off an ambush and after the guys climbed out of their Humvee, saw a film crew taping them being ambushed.
Reading, I discovered that the NYTs was known to make up their 'news' as far back as our involvement in Viet Nam.
Peter Arnett, of the first Gulf War and "baby milk factory" fame was one noted to make up 'reports' against the Americans and report favorably upon our enemies. And then, he wondered why he was looked upon with scorn.
Given the published reduction in size of the NYT, it would seem they are getting to be tabloid size. That connotation, "tabloid" would fit quite accurately with them, to say nothing of the LA Times, the Denver Post, the Washington Post, Seattle PI and many others, including the Oregonian. The next thing you know is that they will be printing as gospel truth stories of UFOs, alien abductions, and Madonna having septuplets while visiting friends on Venus. Hell, they would probably even go so far as to label Al Gore's ramblings about the non-existent global warming b.s.
Oops! I neglected to add the words "as truth" at the end of my last sentence in the prior blog.
