TAS:Hundreds rally against Mercury cuts

Hundreds have gathered in central Hobart to protest against proposed job cuts at the
Mercury newspaper.

The newspaper's management is deciding the future of 33 editorial staff .. with the
prospect of sub-editing jobs moving to so-called sub hubs on the mainland looming large.

Hobart-based independent MP ANDREW WILKIE has addressed the Save the Mercury rally
.. telling the crowd of around 300 Mercury staff and members of the public that their
newspaper needs local knowledge to function.

Mr WILKIE says the Mercury has a proud history of difference from other News Limited
newspapers .. and was the only News Limited paper that took an anti-Iraq war position.

Meanwhile .. Mercury editor GARRY BAILEY says all major editorial decisions will continue
to be made in Hobart.
