Press Gazette are reporting that MEN media are undertaking a structural review of its Manchester based business.Chief Exec Martin Dobson is reported as saying:


"The past two years have seen the rate and pace of change in our industry accelerate beyond all predictions. As a company with a large proportion of its revenues linked to print business, we need to increase our rate of change to meet the digital present as well as the future. This will mean that we will be best placed to face the demands of an increasingly competitive marketplace."

As part of the restructure it is asking staff for volunteer redundancies.

A little worrying for a future journalist.THE Group has been held up as a good example of how do deal with convergence organisational issues ,but it seems that these can no longer be paying the way
