AP Layoffs Coming Down Today?

Last month we heard that the AP might need to make hundreds of layoffs before the end of the year. Some of those layoffs, we hear, could be coming today.

A tipster tells us that the word amongst AP union members is that today could be the day for "70 or 80" layoffs. The rumors say that the layoffs will be spread across the company nationally. Although—ominously—we hear that New York staffers have been summoned to an "important meeting" this afternoon.

We'll update if we learn more. In the meantime, if you have more details, email us.

UPDATE: Another reporter tells us, "Yep, they've started."
