Glasgow titles to get £1 million online makeover

Glasgow titles to get £1 million online makeover

The Herald and Sunday Herald will launch a joint Web site later this year as part of a £1 million makeover for Newsquest's three Glasgow titles, including the Evening Times, as they prepare to operate a 24/7 online operation, HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk reported Thursday.

The site's content will come from all three newspapers, but print versions will stay the same, carrying content only from current staffers.

Currently, Newsquest is looking to cut about 20 editorial positions, and 40 jobs total, HoldtheFrontPage reported.

The new online editor will be the Sunday Herald's deputy editor, David Milne.

“We aim to be fast and authoritative on breaking news, have a rich diet of multimedia content and offer users the most comprehensive and compelling ideas and debates platform in Scotland,” Milne said, according to HoldtheFrontPage.
