LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Times on Wednesday announced plans to cut 74 jobs due to economic challenges as the newspaper strives to transform itself into a digital media organization. “We have done a vast amount of work as a company to meet the budget and revenue challenges head on. The cuts will eliminate about 13% of newsroom positions and affect full-time and temporary workers including editors, audio producers and managers, the Times reported. The Los Angeles Times Guild, which represents more than 400 editorial employees, voiced anger at the layoffs. “We are completely blindsided by this news,” the Times' Guild Unit Council said in a statement.
