* AOL to cut one-fifth of global workforce
By Brian Santo

Time Warner’s AOL unit will eliminate 2,000 jobs as part of an ongoing restructuring, according to Reuters, which said it got its information from an internal AOL document.

AOL has been leaking subscribers, and has been accused of being a drag on Time Warner financial results.

The cuts, scheduled to begin tomorrow (Tuesday), amount to about one-fifth of AOL’s global workforce and are spread across operations in the United States and in Europe, where the company has sold off its Internet access businesses.

AOL plans to boost investment in higher growth areas such as advertising, AOL CEO Randy Falco said in the memo to staff.
