Scottish Newspaper Industry

As an amendment to motion S3M-03947 in the name of David Whitton (Scottish Newspaper Industry), leave out from “opposes” to end and insert “calls for all newspaper and media organisations considering restructuring, reorganisation or redundancy to engage in meaningful negotiations with the relevant workforce representatives in order to minimise the economic impact of any job cuts, and calls on the Scottish Government to hold urgent talks with Trinity Mirror and to work with all media groups to allow new industry models to emerge that will encourage investment not just in local newspapers but in local online services and new local TV companies.”
