Up to 200 jobs to go at Nine

Nine has advised its staff that up to 200 jobs are being made redundant.

The first round to of cuts will impact Nine’s publishing arm, and will be announced as early as today.

CEO Mike Sneesby  issued an all-staff notice, putting the cuts down to ‘economic headwinds.’

Sneesby said in an email to staff:

“It is not something we want to do but it is something we need to do to continue to build on a successful platform of high-quality journalism and digital subscription growth.”

The company is in the process of identifying further savings in its Digital and Broadcast businesses.

An operational review of these businesses is now underway.
