ITV News planning to cut 430 jobs | |
(9 minutes later) | |
ITV News is planning to cut 430 jobs, including broadcast staff and journalists, as part of steps to reduce costs as advertising revenue slows. | |
A letter sent to employees across the country said staff numbers would be reduced from 1,075. | |
Unions criticised the proposals and warned of possible industrial action to fight the job cuts. | Unions criticised the proposals and warned of possible industrial action to fight the job cuts. |
The job reductions come as ITV News is seeking to make changes to its regional news programmes. | |
Nearly one in seven jobs will be axed at ITV Wales. Seventeen of the 130 jobs at the company will go. | |
Laura Davison, assistant broadcasting officer of the National Union of Journalists, said she could not rule out industrial action. | |
"We do not accept the level of cuts ITV News wants to make and it is difficult to see how we can avoid a fight over this." |
