PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CUTS AT TRINITY MIRROR NEWSPAPERS (7 November 2005)
Motion Details
That this House is concerned at the recently announced plans to cut editorial jobs at Trinity Mirror newspapers; notes that the company made £250 million profit last year; believes that cutting jobs in news will fail to address circulation decline; further believes that such moves will lead to poorer coverage of local politics and community issues, thereby damaging local democracy and accountability; and therefore urges Trinity Mirror to abandon its plan to cut jobs and to provide adequate resources to ensure all its titles maintain a high standard of editorial coverage.
