Five more titles have been added to the list of community papers Stuff plans to close.
The media company reported today that it could not find buyers for Wairarapa News, the Tribune, Waiheke Marketplace, Rotorua Review and Ruapehu Press so had to close them.
This adds to a list
of closures that already includes Christchurch Mail, Napier Mail, Hastings Mail, North Waikato News and Discovery magazine - all of which are to close on April 28.
Stuff chief executive Sinead Boucher said 17 staff were affected and 14 roles would disappear in the editorial and commercial teams.
"We are working with people to make sure they have the support they need, and that we have closely considered what this will mean for our remaining staff," Boucher said.
