Journalists at Newsquest have expressed their anger at an email memo sent to all staff with the news that Craig Dubow, chairman of parent company Gannett, was taking a voluntary 17 per cent pay cut.
One reporter told HoldTheFrontPage.co.uk: “We are all worried about whether he will be able to survive on his salary of more than $800,000 a year. It would take most young senior reporters more than 20 years to earn what he earns in a year.
“For the Newsquest chiefs to think sending this email would be good for morale shows how out of touch they really are.”
