Aarne Aktan down as CEO of the media house’s Swedish operations with immediate effect.
Aarne Aktan had planned to leave his post as CEO of Talentum Sweden at mid-year, but are now choosing to go aside today. In step instead Juha-Petri Loimovuori, CEO of Alma Media, which recently bought Talentum, the Dagens Media.
The media world has earlier reported of the large austerity package that will make Talentum save SEK 15 million. To achieve this, the number of journalists miskas by 40 percent. Meanwhile, four editors become one.
In a statement from the Journalist Club of the Talentum Sweden members voicing concerns over the proposed cuts and the management’s desire to outsource four of titles of digital publications. Club writes that:
“We are particularly concerned about the employer’s proposal for outsourcing of digital publishing. Removing web editors from as specific titles as New Technology, Business World, Occupational Safety and Law & amp; Agreements and replace them with a joint team from an outside staffing agencies seem ill on the verge of self-destructive. If digital publishing is the future, it is obvious that we have to take it yourself. “
Next week, a wage-earner initiate a review of the employer’s savings proposals, says Dagens Media.
