Washington Times Managing Editor for Digital Jeffrey Birnbaum has resigned effective Friday, and several other top editors are being let go as the dismantling of the conservative newspaper continues, according to newsroom sources.

An all-staff meeting has been called for 3:30 p.m. ET at the struggling Times, which announced earlier this month it is laying off at least 40 percent of its staff.

Birnbaum, a former columnist for the Washington Post, will write a column for the Times and work as a news consultant for the paper. He was recruited by then-executive editor John Solomon from the Post in August 2008.

The Post reported today that Times sports journalists fear their section will be killed by week's end.
