Daily Mail plans job cuts amid digital merge

The Daily Mail is poised to announce another round of job cuts as it merges its print and digital operations, with management indicating that fewer than 100 positions may be affected during a 30-day consultation period. This restructuring, co-authored by editor-in-chief Ted Verity and DMG Media chief executive Danny Groom, aims to eliminate duplication and enhance efficiency by having reporters and editors produce content for both platforms. The integration of the Daily Mail and MailOnline has been ongoing since 2021, driven by declining print sales and a need to adapt to the digital landscape. While the Daily Mail traditionally catered to a more conservative audience, the merger is expected to streamline operations and improve content production across both platforms. The Mail on Sunday will retain its unique elements but will also become more integrated with the Daily Mail's operations. This latest round of redundancies marks a continuation of previous job cuts as the publisher implements significant structural changes in response to industry challenges.
