The National Union of Journalists has called on Trinity Mirror shareholders to demand the company publish the difference in pay between its top executives and regional reporters.

And it has also called for an end to job cuts claiming that more than half the group's journalism and production jobs have been cut since 2004.

In a letter to be presented to shareholders at Trinity Mirror’s annual general meeting in Canary Wharf today, the NUJ also said it has “grave concerns over crisis staffing levels within the group” and demanded an end to editorial cuts.
