Summary
Reach plc has announced four new regional business editor vacancies, with one covering Manchester. Dedicated business sections will be relaunched on seven regional websites including Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo, WalesOnline, the Daily Record, BirminghamLive, ChronicleLive and BristolLive.
The move reverses redundancies made in December 2023, when five specialist business editor roles were axed including positions covering Manchester, Liverpool and the North West. The company said it sees an opportunity to put regional brands back at the heart of their business communities as it evolves its subscriptions business.
Reach's Business Live portal will continue operating but will focus more narrowly on entrepreneurs and enterprise. The editorial restructuring is overseen by Birmingham Live editor Graeme Brown and was announced by Reach's editorial director Paul Rowland.
