WWD: The New York Times has made no secret about its intention to shift its business to digital — it just didn’t spell out how it would accomplish that. On Wednesday, the newspaper’s executive team circulated a memo revealing its plan to offer buyouts to employees who have been newsroom staff for three years or more. “We are looking for volunteers, for people who might see this offering fitting in with their long-term plans and working to their financial advantage,” the memo said.
