The Herald sacks all staff: made to reapplyThe Herald and Times group have sacked 250 employees and asked them to reapply for 210 jobs.Quality will suffer drastically under a new editor-in-chief with a lot of bad feeling for the nature of the forced changes introduced. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_new...land/glasgow_and_west/7763356.stm Will we see fewer articles, fewer pages, less challenging journalism? More than likely. |

I really fear for the Sunday Herald.
I think it is the best paper in terms of its quality and content and fear that this may be eroded in pursuit of profits. |

Two posts so far, and it's actually Nationalists saying positive things about the Herald?
Nothing like culling your staff to gain a bit of popularity, it would seem. |

Well, I'm a supporter of independence, but not a Nationalist, and it hasn't made the Herald popular with me. Although I had been in the habit of buying the Herald and the Sunday Herald quite regularly, I'm not going to give them my custom. If these papers suffer as a result of this, that may send a message to other employers that sacking the staff and saying they should re-apply for a smaller number of jobs can be bad for business. |

The only paper I can read recently without shouting out angrily is the Telegraph... | ||||
