WBUR, Boston's NPR station, is undergoing significant staff reductions with 31 employees, approximately 14% of its workforce, departing through layoffs and buyouts. The station's CEO, Margaret Low, announced the changes, attributing them to a need to cut the budget following a sharp decrease in advertising revenue. Of those leaving, 24 employees opted for buyouts while 7 were laid off. Additionally, the station will discontinue purchasing Peet's Coffee as part of cost-cutting measures.
