Never Pay Retail

That's the name of a new site, dedicated to the proposition that why pay retail for TimesSelect material, when you can get it for free in a day or two.

Then there's this:

The New York Times Co. yesterday announced plans to cut 500 jobs from its payroll, with the deepest cuts occurring at its namesake newspaper and The Boston Globe, as advertising revenue remains in a slump.

The reduction, which represents about 4 percent of the company's workforce, comes on the heels of a 2 percent cut in May that saw 200 employees leave.

Sort of a bad news week for the NYT.
