The BBC has announced its latest round of job cuts, involving a net reduction of 130 roles across news and current affairs departments, as part of a wider cost-cutting drive.
The chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, announced the changes in an email on Tuesday, saying the corporation sought to cut 185 roles and open 55 new ones with the aim of saving £24m, amounting to 4% of the current news budget.
