News and information company Thomson Reuters has confirmed that it is cutting 140 journalist posts by the end of the year.
According to the Guardian, head of news David Schlesinger wrote an internal email which explained that areas of “natural overlap and duplication in coverage” existed between the two companies and that as a result jobs would go.
The cuts, which will take place later in the year, are expected mostly to be of editorial staff in Europe.
