Daily Mail Announces Job Cuts as Print and Digital Operations Merge

The publisher plans to eliminate dozens of positions in its final push to integrate print and online teams for a digital-first strategy.

The Daily Mail will cut fewer than 100 jobs as it merges its print and digital teams to streamline operations and reduce duplication.
The changes are part of a long-term transition to a digital-first newsroom, with all reporters and editors producing content for both print and online by mid-March.
The Mail on Sunday will be further integrated into the Daily Mail's operations, continuing its shift toward a seven-day model while maintaining some unique elements.
The publisher cited declining print sales and a focus on growing digital subscriptions, with its premium tier Mail+ nearing 130,000 subscribers and a U.S. launch planned in the coming weeks.
The job cuts, which include a 30-day consultation period for affected staff, follow earlier rounds of redundancies in both the UK and U.S. operations over the past few years.
