The Associated Press plans to reduce its workforce by cutting dozens of posts as layoffs continue to rock the news industry.

Collectively, the layoffs will affect less than five percent of the overall workforce, according to The Hill, which reviewed a memo from AP Editor Julie Pace. The news wire plans to undergo a broad restructuring and focus on "core" operations.

"To ensure we are delivering the coverage today’s customers – and future customers – value the most, we are restructuring our U.S. operations and will part ways with some colleagues who have served this organization well," Pace said.

The move comes in the wake of large-scale layoffs at the Washington Post, which began in February. CBS News, for its part, eliminated its radio division in March and laid off six percent of its overall news staff.

"It's no secret that the news business is changing radically, and that we need to change along with it," CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and President Tom Cibrowski wrote at the time.
