The union local editor shocked – Expressen

Malmo. When the Journal of management proposals on reorganization today presented to the editorial local editor became the employees’ reaction strong.

Every third journalist at Helsingborgs Dagblad and Sydsvenskan be slimmed away.

– I’m shocked, says Pia Char, chairman of Sydsvenskans journalist club.

In secrecy she was already in the last week to see the proposal.

– Even so, I feel shocked after it has been presented today. The second feeling is my concern about how colleagues are feeling, says Pia char.

What is it that shocks you?

– It becomes so clear when one sees that x number of people to be removed . Now it is making a plan and realize that they and them and they may not be retained. It becomes very apparent.

The plan of merger between Helsingborgs Dagblad and Sydsvenskan means that the papers have a common editorial staff to be located in Malmö, which the Evening Post revealed yesterday.

At the meeting today got Sydsvenskans editorial also told that the two newspapers’ night editorial placed in Helsingborg.

The proposal is severely criticized by Pia char.

– There will be no night manager in Malmö, but only a place editor. I think that in a city of Malmo need both management and a really good crew in the evenings, says Pia char.

– There is a lot happening in Malmö that requires that you have selected, and it is required to take quick decisions. It can even be dangerous situations.

– I think probably having to night editor at both places if you want to be a good local newspaper.

Newspaper management proposal also means that the number of editors reduced by half.

Cultural newspapers are pooled and managed by Sydsvenskans cultural editor Rachel Chukri.

Wire Editor becomes common and is led by Sydsvenskans political editor Heidi Avellan.
