This is the unofficial list going around the Los Angeles Times newsroom of staffers who applied for the buyout, whether nudged or not. Some applications may be declined, in theory, but publisher David Hiller has said previously that all who want to leave will get to go. (Apparently he did not, per the Times' spokeswoman.) Most staffers on the editorial pages were deemed ineligible, according to editor Jim Newton, who confirmed that he asked Hiller whether he was eligible. Expect adjustments to the list as more names are learned or others fall off.
Notes on a scorecard:
As an extra Zellutation to the community, the Times is doing away with public tours of the building. The position of guide Darrell Kunitomi (who has more than a dozen TV and film credits) is being eliminated, sources say.
