It's Friday. Its Newsquest. It must be bad news.

It could have been worse I suppose. Only 10 jobs going across the three titles. There are difficulties though. There really aren't enough journalists working in Renfield Street as it is. So increased problems for those remaining-no doubt about that. For those desperate to leave or volunteer then we have the not insignificant obstacle of the company appearing to offer only statutory redundancy terms. There could be trouble ahead (as the song goes). On the back of a two year pay freeze, a savage assault on the final salary pension scheme and continued reluctance to offer decent terms to and work to freelances then it is not a happy ship - but hey - not yet the Mary Celeste or Titanic.
