NPR to cut staff by 7 percent

Reuters reports that NPR is cutting 7 percent of its workforce and eliminating two shows due to a $23 million budget shortfalls. The story says "Day to Day" and "News & Notes" will be cut and many of the jobs reductions will come from the shows. The Reuters report is based on an internal memo from Dennis Haarsager, NPR's CEO and interim president.
From the memo:

"All our revenue sources are under pressure," wrote Haarsager in the memo. "All industries, including the financial, automotive, and media industries, historically our biggest underwriters, are cutting back significantly."
