Your print edition of the NY Times may be getting slimmer and slimmer. According to the Observer's sources, "The New York Times plans to eliminate several weekly sections, including its stand-alone City Section," plus "There are also discussions to eliminate the regional weeklies in New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester and Connecticut, and the Friday Escapes section as well." This is the latest in a series of moves that the newspaper is taking to cut costs (last week, layoffs and salary cuts were announced) and it seems the City section, which arrived on Sundays with lengthy features about blog commenters and the subway, may only have four more issues left. Here are Times executive editor Bill Keller's remarks to the newsroom—one question left unanswered: What will the Weekender do?!? Also, last October is when the Metro section was rolled into Section A.
