Tell Zell: July 4th surprise


In catching up with the weekend papers, the Retch stumbled across this little noticed correction from the New York Times about the impending cuts at our paper.

Correction: July 4, 2008

An article on Thursday about job cuts at The Los Angeles Times paraphrased incorrectly from comments by David D. Hiller, the publisher, and Russ Stanton, the editor, on the possibility of additional downsizing. Both men said that they hoped the latest cuts would be the last for a long while; they did not say that they believed they would be.


Ugh. The correction means that Hiller or Stanton actually had to pick up the phone, call the New York Times and tell them to change the language. Which means, of course, that both believe there will be more cuts. Incredible.
