“Even though we’ve evolved in the U.S. over the past few years, too much of our operations are still tied to large U.S. newspaper groups, who make up less than 10% of our business. Now is the time to be bolder about making this transformation,” Julie Pace, the outlet’s top editor, wrote in a memo to staff that was shared with The Hill. “To ensure we are delivering the coverage today’s customers – and future customers – value the most, we are restructuring our U.S. operations and will part ways with some colleagues who have served this organization well.”

The cuts will impact less than 5 percent of the AP’s news staff, Pace said, noting the move would mostly impact the U.S. news team and insisting it will “not affect AP’s 50-state footprint.”

This is a pivot away from the US in terms of major offices and staffing. Which, let’s be honest, isn’t an awful idea, considering the current regime’s opinions on press freedom.

Oh no
