Description
The newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror has started a new round of job cuts, which could see some 750 workers dismissed at its regional and national titles, in a further sign that the industry is struggling. It is understood that Trinity Mirror is looking to remove between 5 and 7% of its 11,000-strong workforce, across its national and regional titles. The company's nationals are led by the Daily Mirror; its regional papers include the Birmingham Evening Mail and the Liverpool Echo. The cuts could include about 150 editorial staff.
