Trinity Mirror is axing up to 40 jobs across its portfolio of regional titles as it expands content sharing between newspapers and looks to the Press Association to provide it with more “page-ready” news.

The majority of job losses are said to be related to print production, with staff consultations underway. Up to 15 new roles are also being created, which are believed to include new “community content curators”.

The restructure will affect both daily and weekly titles.
