More than 250 staffers at The Guardian have accepted buyouts

A total of 268 employees are taking buyouts at The Guardian as the paper attempts to stem more than $227 million in losses from the last financial year. The newspaper is losing some of its most prominent leaders and bylines in the exodus: Aron Pilhofer, the The Guardian's executive editor of digital, is joining Temple University as the school's James B. Steele Chair in Journalism Innovation. Politico reported Wednesday that a trio of marquee names are also on their way out: Middle East editor Ian Black, senior digital editor Matt Wells and defense and security specialist Richard Norton-Taylor.
