"Der Standard" lays off 25 employees and advances digitalization

How many journalistic employees are affected and what impact the layoffs will have on editorial processes and the appearance of the print edition is the subject of an ongoing APA inquiry. "The goal is to secure our independence in the long term and to further advance the already high level of digitalization," "Standard" board member Alexander Mitteräcker is quoted on the newspaper's website.

With the creation of a specialized team responsible for the design of the newspaper, as well as through long-term printing and distribution partnerships, the print edition of the "Standard" has been able to be secured. A social plan has been set up for the 25 affected employees. Standard Medien AG employs a total of 500 people.
