The National Union of Journalists estimated that in the newspaper sector there have been at least 8,800 jobs lost and 54 local offices closed since December 2008.

Asked about the treatment around their departures, 78% (of 138 respondents) thought that management did not hear all employee concerns, with 42% “feeling strongly” that this was the case.

Furthermore, “only 23% of the 134 respondents indicated that they had found full-time work in any sector, while a further 20% had found part-time work. The largest group – 42% – are still looking for work, while almost 15% said they were doing something else.”
