One excerpt:

"Ad hoc caucuses within the Los Angeles Times Guild designed to represent diverse communities within the newsroom will be "decimated" by the liberal paper’s decision to lay off at least 115 staffers this week, according to the Guild.

Chris Argentieri, the Times’ president and chief operating officer, wrote in a memo to staff that the "economic reality of our organization is extremely challenging" and that, "Despite our owner’s willingness to continue to invest, we need to take immediate steps to improve our cash position."

The LA Times Guild has blasted the layoffs, arguing they've hit reporters from diverse backgrounds particularly hard."
