BBC World Service to cut 130 jobs as it seeks to save £6m
- Bbc World Service plans to cut 130 jobs to save around £6 million for the next financial year, as reported by David Deans, political reporter at Bbc Wales News.
- The cuts will affect roles in the UK and internationally, including positions in Bbc Monitoring, due to financial pressures from rising inflation and a two-year licence fee freeze.
- Despite the job cuts, Bbc World Service will maintain coverage across its 42 language services while shifting focus to a digital-first approach, according to Global Director Jonathan Munro.
- The funding boost from the Fcdo aims to protect existing foreign language services, but ongoing financial challenges necessitate these difficult decisions, as stated by the Bbc.
