The New York Times [NYT Loading... () ] newspaper reports that those cuts don't count toward the 100 newsroom jobs the Times plans to eliminate by the end of the year. The 100 jobs amount to roughly 8 percent of the total in the newsroom.

The Times also will stop making contributions to the pension plans of nonunion workers, instead kicking in 3 percent of their salaries every year to their 401(k) plans.
