The Washington Post has started laying off roughly 4 percent of its work force, the company said on Tuesday, as the newspaper struggles to stem millions of dollars in annual losses. The cuts will affect fewer than 100 people across The Post’s business divisions,

“The layoffs will affect employees across The Post’s business operations, not its newsroom … The bulk of the eliminated positions are coming from The Post’s advertising division. Johanna Mayer-Jones, The Post’s chief advertising officer, said in a memo to employees on Tuesday that 73 positions under her purview were being eliminated.” —
