Journalists to stage one-day stoppage

Reporters at the Leinster Leader, Limerick Leader, the Leinster Express, the Offaly Express and the Clonmel Nationalist, are to stage a one-day work stoppage next Tuesday.

The move is in protest at job losses arising from a new editorial production system being introduced by parent company, Johnston Press Group, which the NUJ says will also undermine editorial quality in the newspapers.
