Description

Up to 100 journalists could lose their jobs following the relocation of HH Saudi Research and Marketing from London to Dubai. The move comes just a month after a dozen sacked journalists revealed they were appealing via the NUJ against their redundancy terms. The company produces 18 titles out of its London office including daily newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat and women's magazine Hia. It confirmed in April 2005 that most of the redundancies will be completed during May and June 2005
