1,000 jobs to go at UK newspaper group

British media group Daily Mail and General Trust today said it would cut around 1,000 jobs at its Northcliffe regional arm this year – double the number estimated last November.

The firm is also making further reductions “across all cost categories” at Associated Newspapers, which owns the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.

DMGT said it had seen a “difficult quarter” for its consumer media businesses in the UK and Europe, but expected full-year results in line with market expectations.
