BBC announces up to 2,000 job cuts to reduce costs by about 10% over 2 yrs

The BBC said Wednesday that it plans to cut up to 2,000 jobs to save 10% of its annual budget - 500 million pounds ($677 million) - over the next two years.

Washington Post cuts one-third of staff, shuts sports desk, foreign bureaus

The Washington Post laid off one-third of its staff Wednesday, eliminating its sports section, several foreign bureaus and its books coverage in a widespread purge that represented a brutal blow to journalism and one of its most legendary brands. The Post's executive editor, Matt Murray, called the move painful but necessary to put the outlet on stronger footing and weather changes in technology and user habits.
