Kenneth Li and Ben Fenton of the Financial Times report Wednesday that The Wall Street Journal is expected to cut some jobs as part of a widespread trimming at parent News Corp.
“The expected reductions pale in comparison with the jobs cuts being made throughout the newspaper sector including Gannett, the top US newspaper publisher, which cut 4,000 jobs in 2008 alone.
“They are symbolic, however, as Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp has historically spared his favourite properties in spite of heavy losses at some titles. Lachlan Murdoch, his elder son, once admitted the New York Post loses about $40m a year.”
