Spain's big newspaper job cuts

The four largest daily newspapers in Spain - El País, El Mundo, ABC and La Razón - eliminated 906 staff jobs between 2003 and 2009. These redundancies represent 39% of the 2,325 total staff the papers had seven years ago. El Pais, which continues to be the largest employer, has reduced its payroll by 43% from 891 employees to 507. By contrast, La Razon has been the only newspaper to increase staff. It has increased numbers, up from 214 to 247. Sources: Editors' weblog In Spanish: PRnoticias
