BBC's Massive Staff Cuts

Brutal cuts involving the loss of 2,050 jobs - more than 400 in the newsroom - were unveiled at the BBC today reports The Guardian. The unions immediately condemned the cuts describing today as "the worst day in the history of the BBC".

In total, up to 6,000 staff will go as part of the cost-cutting. Detailed plans for the news and nations and regions division, which will bear the brunt of cuts, were also released.
