Thing is, this letter went out to all papers at the same time in Newhouse chain -- which to me sounds like there are vulnerabilities at all papers. Newhouse is increasingly consolidating its resources -- universal websites, computer systems. Trenton Times is already being produced out of Newark and printed out of Staten Island, so nothing more to cut there. I would guess SL has more "dead wood" than O at the moment. I predict you'll see very soon a massive page reduction at several Newhouse papers, and a Fri-Sat. edition, voiding the Pledge and allowing a simultaneous staff reduction.
