Telegraph Media Group will create 40 new permanent jobs for people with new media skills, such as data management and mapping, and will cut casual staff, Press Gazette reported.
Casual staff working for the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph and Telegraph.co.uk have been invited to apply for the new jobs, advertised on the company's intranet.
There will be “around 18 content editors, a new role for TMG, for multi-skilled journalists who are able to do everything from write, to commission, to edit, to produce both across online and print,” Richard Ellis, executive director of editorial told casual staffers in a letter.
There will also be six new reporting positions, five part-time production journalist jobs, seven “new world” jobs, such as “data mapping expert” and a “digital technologist” position, Press Gazette reported Tuesday.
October 13 is the final date to apply. For those who are not interested in or not hired for one of the new jobs, TMG has set up a “resource centre” for a month to aid workers in finding a new job.
