20 journalists to depart from Herald titles

More than 20 journalists at the Herald titles in Glasgow are expected to depart after applying for voluntary redundancy. But there is a belief that the owners - Newsquest, the British arm of the US company Gannett - will demand more job cuts in the autumn. It wants to make "savings" of £3m and, as I reported last week, the National Union of Journalists has organised a petition objecting to the company's actions, which has attracted 1,300 signatories.
