Late Sunday, the New York Times reported that the paper has reached a tentative deal with the Newspaper Guild. Negotiations have been ongoing for 18 months
In a message to the staff, the executive editor, Jill Abramson, said the paper and the union had agreed “in concept” on a new five-year contract. She said that at the request of the mediator, Martin Scheinman, no further details would be forthcoming because the agreement still needs to be put in writing.
