The BBC is scrapping the print edition of its weekly in-house magazine Ariel after 75 years as part of a restructure that will see the loss of 30 jobs in its communications division.

Four jobs will be axed in the Ariel team as it looks to make 25 per cent savings, with the last print edition being published at the end of December.

Ariel Online, which underwent a redesign earlier this year, will continue to carry BBC staff news and views.
