Newspaper spokeswoman Nancy Sullivan said Monday that 75 staffers are being laid off in the latest round of cuts.
She declined further comment and would not disclose how many journalists will remain at the paper.
The Times, which is owned by Chicago-based Tribune Co., reduced its overall staff by 250 people last summer, including 150 from the newsroom.
Editor Russ Stanton blamed the cutbacks on the economic slowdown.
