CutsQuest

The latest in the battle against Newsquest's plan to destroy its own newspapers.

[NUJ @NUJofficial]

#Newsquest newsrooms have been torn to pieces by cost-cutting, those at the top are living in luxury while front-line #journalists often live with parents or rely on a partner's income to afford to remain in their job https://t.co/9sr8Sqszod @CutsQuest #Gannett #media @IFJGlobal

Like the @SurreyComet reporters did

Cleaning, catering and parking staff at Kingston Hospital are protesting to get sick pay and the London living wage https://t.co/2OXV5Njq3m

Population of St Ives 11,200. They get 10 Berliner sized pages jam-packed with well written local news - a really good read for £1.20. Population of Kingston 174,600. We get 44 tabloid pages of not very much at all, except adverts. Expensive at 65p. @CutsQuest

When people ask why I left... @CutsQuest “Newsquest does not value its journalists in Cumbria. Any journalist who joins this company should expect a future of continuous pay erosion. Our journalists have taken on more responsibility for diminishing reward” https://t.co/DDonBXqxcU

That’s me done!I’m now officially unemployed after being made redundant by the wonderful NWN Media/Newsquest!

Looking forward to exciting times ahead with a new role in aviation as well as the @W_M_A awards night in @MercureCardifHH on 23rd March :)

Live to Win, Dare to Fail

Looking at today's Wimbledon Guardian, doesn't look like they are covering the election at all?

[Save MAE @Save_MAE]

@PeaKayEff Not odd at all. The decline of local journalism sadly. @WimbledonNews a mouthpiece for @Merton_Council most of them time. Even more important that #Merton #vocallocals keep residents informed on so many issues and encourage others to do so, particularly after May #localelections

[Mark Gale @MarkGale]

Shame @WimbledonNews didn't stick to the plan of listing #LocalElections candidates as promised in last week's edition (see underlined in red)

Postal voters may miss the info that all the @RavensburyWard candidates supplied within 24hrs of being asked
#VoteIndependent
#VoteLocal

@simonrug @debdaws @tweetsfromben @adwhiskey @leedsjourno @JacquiOatley I was a sub whose services were no longer required by Newsquest. Here are three recent examples which make me weep.

Jobs to go at former CN Group titles – but Newsquest pledges to invest in reporters

[TwickRiversidePark 🌲🏃‍♂️🤸‍♀️🚴🏄‍♀️🐕☕🎂🍕🥂🌳 @TwRiversidePark]

It's hardly surprising that vehicles get the flooded on Richmond & #TwickenhamRiverside when @richmondtimes publishes high tides times that are nearly 5 HOURS later than the times forecast by @AlanBarrierEA & @LondonPortAuth!
#EpicFail
Please warn ppl @twickerati @TwickTribune

[CutsQuest @CutsQuest]

@Metro_Joey @MetroUK Reporters at Newsquest South London went on strike for two weeks over job cuts and desire to be paid the London Loving Wage. A few months back they tried to take that away.

[CutsQuest @CutsQuest]

One story is from a 2016 strike edition #newsquest paper the other from this week’s Surrey Comet - yours to buy for only 65p.

#NUJ #Newsquest fails to say how it will close its gender pay gap #equality- https://t.co/TrDHavLdEK

Women are paid less than their male counterparts in regional press: https://t.co/QvTmkCHnH4
