The British business newspaper Financial Times is in the process of merging its online and print activities into a multimedia newsroom. This threatens 50 employees with unemployment, but the aim is to keep job cuts to a minimum. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) is concerned that the impending job cuts could damage the quality of reporting.
By closely linking online, print, reporting and production, the Financial Times is to become one of the best-integrated multimedia newsrooms in the world, according to the publishing house Pearson. In future, there will be fewer differences between the various editions for Europe, America and Asia. Editors will use a new system to publish web and print pages from a single platform.
