"Most of these cuts--although not necessarily all of them--are typical of the dumb-ass greed of today's newspaper companies. It happens all the time: A newspaper has an off quarter or year, profits-wise (they're still profitable, mind you, just not as profitable as shareholders or managers want); management responds by cutting staff and resources to keep profits high; the paper's quality invariably suffers without the resources it had before; readers/advertisers notice this and stop reading or buying ads; a newspaper has another off quarter or year, profits-wise; repeat cycle."
