MELVILLE, N.Y. (AP) _ Newsday is cutting as many as 100 jobs through voluntary and non-voluntary buyouts, the Long Island newspaper's publisher said Thursday.

"We have been engaged in a thorough review of everything we do, establishing priorities for next year based on our strategic objectives," Publisher Timothy Knight wrote in an e-mail to employees. A story about the cuts was also posted on the newspaper's Web site.

"It is clear that we will face continued revenue challenges next year and, as a result, we need to make significant changes in the business in order to have a healthier newspaper for the future," Knight said.

The announcement of job cuts comes two days after Newsday editor Howard Schneider resigned and was replaced by John Mancini, an assistant managing editor who had overseen the newspaper's New York City edition for the past three years.

3. Sigh...

Y'know, being in the media doesn't immediately equate to being a media whore. Not everyone at Newsday is a whore. Save that sort of blanket-statement bull for the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal or something.
