Guardian News & Media, publisher of The Guardian newspaper and Guardian.co.uk, will cut more than 100 of its 1,700 editorial and commercial jobs as the company moves to reverse "unsustainable" losses, it told staff in a series of briefings at the company's Kings Place HQ in Wednesday. No timetable has been set for the reduction, part of a long-running cost-cutting review, and no specific areas were mentioned, but the news comes just 24 hours after Observer staff were told their paper is to be slimmed down to four sections a week in the new year.
Carolyn McCall, CEO of parent Guardian Media Group, said GNM would be a smaller organisation even after the recession.
Guardian.co.uk reports that The Guardian's standalone Thursday technology section is to be cut at the end of the year.
