Sky News workers have been told to brace for staffing changes as the news channel battles with falling advertising revenue amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
In a note sent to staff at the end of March, CEO Paul Whittaker warned them that neither Sky News nor its parent company News Corp would be immune to the current economic downturn.
Whittaker says Sky News is doing everything it can to avoid cutting jobs during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
Ah Mumbrella, glad you still seem to be taking pleasure in the reporting of job losses – this is not even news at all, there is barely a single industry right now that is not impacted.

Get up to speed on ‘constructive dismissal’.
Do NOT work during your annual leave entitlements.
Do NOT sign a forced pay cut.
Engage a decent employment lawyer.
There is a lot of illegal activity happening in this industry now.
Remember the people who are conducting it if this bounces back and send them to the gallows.
A bit melodramatic Kate. Seems to me Mumbrella is simply reporting a valid story on redundancies.
