Every cut in editorial staff reduces the quality and saleability of the product, cutting future sales and advertising revenue -- and profits. A ridiculous and short sighted approach -- that also serves to keep public less informed.

Is anybody surprised? I know it’s a disgrace the way they and Trinity Mirror treat local newspapers with long and successful histories, but they don’t give a sh*t sadly.

"The affected staff, who were described as ‘resources’ in their consultation letters, now face having to justify their existence in interviews.” NUJ Swindon Advertiser nuj.org.uk/news/more-news…

“Newsquest newsrooms are staggering from one set of redundancies to the next with legitimate questions arising around the safety of heaping ever-increasing workloads and stress on remaining staff,” says NUJ as further redundancies announced. holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2018/news/four…

Los Angeles Times journalists vote 248-44 to unionise. We're sharing this celebratory pic of a great @news_guild achievement, in the transAtlantic spirit of solidarity that they extended to our Swindon colleagues earlier this month #Adverstrike x.com/darrendcarroll…

#Newsquest CEO Henry Faure Walker has disposed company shares worth $180,138 dollars; that’s £126,857 pocketed in one go. Local #newspaper companies make money for some people, not others. Swindon journalists went on strike this month because of poverty pay. #profit #media #localnews

Today the Swindon Advertiser team will be opening up their pay cheques to find a deduction of wages for two days. Or an hour’s salary if you’re Henry Faure Walker (before tax, fact) A big thank you to everyone who supported our strike fund, we are truly humbled. x.com/faurewalker/st…

AdverStrike Swindon Advertiser Henry Faure Walker Going by his figures Henry takes home in two days what it takes Adver reporters most of a month to earn. Yet #Newsquest is refusing to accept our very reasonable claim. #AdverStrike

Our news editor was made redundant at Christmas. Now @TobyGranville has realised a daily newspaper does need one after all. Go figure... nuj.org.uk/news/swindon-a…

Methinks @TobyGranville could do with a decent sub to fact check his statement, as saying that both of the roles have arisen through resignations is categorically untrue. “Facts not fiction please!” holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2018/news/jour…

It’s slightly alarming that the man in charge of Newsquest’s editorial output @TobyGranville has such a poor grasp of the facts, especially given how recent these events took place. Or are we attempting to rewrite history? x.com/nujofficial/st…
