Tindle is closing a popular Welsh newspaper series and a Scottish publisher is cutting jobs as the hit to advertising revenues from Covid-19 continues to impact regional titles.

Tindle’s 37-year-old Glamorgan Gem series is closing, with approximately five editorial jobs and three sales roles reported to be at risk.

Production of the weekly newspaper’s six editions, covering Barry, Bridgend, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Penarth and Porthcawl, was temporarily suspended in March because of the pandemic. All staff were furloughed under the Government’s job retention scheme.
