Job losses are nothing new in the newspaper industry, alas, but a Norwegian newspaper's response to its economic troubles would appear to be. The Oslo-based Aftenposten is offering its journalists redundancy packages, part-time positions or a switch to other jobs which are available including receptionists, switchboard operators and … newspaper delivery men (and women, presumably). The good news for hacks who are not already on the early shift and don't fancy setting their alarm clocks for the wee small hours is that newspaper delivery jobs pay rather well in Norway, reports Journalism.co.uk. The bad news is there are no newspaper delivery vacancies at the moment. On that money – £80,000? Surely not! – Monkey's not surprised.
