Reach, the UK’s biggest regional newspaper publisher and owner of the Mirror and Express, blamed Meta for a slump in digital revenues as the social platform changed the way it displays news.

The publisher has announced plans to make 102 job cuts in editorial roles out of 200 across the group. 253 journalists have been placed at risk.

Messages of solidarity for NUJ members on strike at Reach newspapers and websites have been posted on Twitter all day.

Jon Harris, of the National Association of Press Agencies, has written an open letter to Reach Plc’s editor in chief Lloyd Embley to protest at the company’s ‘’paltry’’ rates of pay to freelances in the wake of today’s journalists’ strike.

They tell the company’s chief executive and chief financial officer to use their £7m pay packages towards a fair pay deal for staff.

A motion from the NUJ Reach group chapel urges bosses to deliver a fair pay package that values staff and begins to address pay inequalities.
