"Layoffs or staff reductions or force reductions are probably part of the way we operate this newspaper for at least the foreseeable future. ...But we can't cut ourselves to success. No business can," says Globe publisher Steven Ainsley. He also says:
* "I've asked every person in this building to make enormous personal sacrifices in the name of this institution. That's hard to do."
* "We do have to have healing. We've got to get to the point that we're comfortable with the notion that these type of sacrifices that the company has asked of all of us are worth it."
* "With some irony, it's been energizing to fully understand how important we are to the community." || Full interview transcript.
