OPIN-2016-0005 Redundancy of Daily Post representative (e) Tabled on 08/06/2016

This Assembly:

Recognises how important it is that the people of Wales are well informed about decisions taken by Assembly and Welsh Government;

Deplores the decision of the Daily Post to make their Senedd Correspondent post redundant;

Shares the fears of the NUJ, that this move confirms the Trinity Mirror Group may be moving away from journalism which challenges the locally powerful and holds to account public bodies; and

Calls on the Welsh Government to make strong representations to the editor of the Daily Post and to Trinity Mirror's chief executive officer with a view to getting the decision reversed.
