Layoffs Begin At NY Daily News

The Daily News began another round of cuts on Wednesday morning, marking the latest in a series of downsizings that have rocked the struggling tabloid over the past several years, POLITICO Media has learned.

The scope of the layoffs was unclear, but sources at the News said they would be companywide as opposed to concentrated solely in the newsroom.

The sources said Mike Lupica, a prominent columnist and longtime News employee, is among those who are heading out the door. News management and Lupica, who enjoyed one of the newsroom's top salaries, were unable to come to terms on a new contract, the sources said.

Sports editor Teri Thompson also received a pink slip, the sources said.
