Around 20 editorial jobs look likely to go at Fairfax Media New Zealand under the latest restructuring plans.
Fairfax met with staff yesterday and it is understood 180 jobs were disestablished and 160 people invited to reapply for jobs.
Fairfax human resources staff held meetings with editorial staff today. Affected
staff are expected to be consulted over the next two weeks.
Fairfax has previously said there would be no job losses announced as a result of the restructuring.
However it has not spelt out how many new jobs would be created under the proposal to further organise its editorial operations into focused, local teams and specialist national topic areas.
