Edipresse announced at the end of August that it intended to cut 50 jobs in order to reduce costs and offset falling advertising revenues. The group, which publishes the newspapers Le Matin, 24 Heures and Tribune de Genève, among others, expects 25 redundancies, according to an SDA press release.
A solution has been found for several of the 14 editors who are being made redundant at the Edipresse media group in French-speaking Switzerland, according to an SDA press release issued on Thursday: Some would be given another job internally or externally. The group is also relying on natural departures. The general management of Edipresse also undertook on Thursday to give preference to the dismissed editors in the event of future vacancies.
This agreement was reached at a meeting in Lausanne with the Edipresse editorial coordination team.
