One of the big problems with the current financial crisis is that banks aren't giving loans to qualified borrowers anymore. Yadda, yadda, yadda, dreaded 'credit crunch' ensues.

So, I feel bad that 550 people from the New York Times are now jobless, but it seems to have given a boost to the company’s stock price, which was up almost 2% this morning.

The reason given for the cut is that sales of the newspaper have steadily been declining. Apparently people are going ONLINE to get their news and info. Go figure.
