More On U.S. News Layoffs

From Harry Jaffe:

    U.S. News & World Report this week disbanded its “I Team,” which had been a key part of the newsweekly since the 1980s.

    On Tuesday Mort Zuckerman’s weekly magazine offered buyouts to legal-affairs correspondent Chitra Ragavan, national-security reporter Linda Robinson, and investigative reporter David E. Kaplan, who writes the “Bad Guys” blog.

    “We had to make the decision to scale back on some of our long-form journalism,” says U.S. News editor Brian Kelly. “Unfortunately, that meant we had to offer buyouts to some very talented people.”
