The Telegraph Media Group is to cut 80 jobs as it merges the Daily and Sunday Telegraph newspapers into a seven-day operation, Sky sources have confirmed.
Some 14% of editorial jobs will go from the staff base of 550 posts.
However the restructure of the two newspapers will see the creation of 50 digital content roles within six months.
Chief executive Murdoch MacLennan sent a letter to staff on Tuesday morning revealing details of the new structure.
He said: “We must move now to complete our transition to a digital business.
“To do that we need to invest significantly and I am today announcing an £8m investment in our digital future, our number one priority.”
