Trinity Mirror has announced plans to outsource jobs to India as part of a restructure that could see up to 110 jobs go at the publisher.
Those affected include staff in the pre-press and studio departments following proposals for all advert creation to be outsourced to an external provider in India.
Trinity said the changes are expected to be introduced over the next nine months.
The announcement comes after rival publisher Johnston Press announced similar plans to outsource advertising teams to India.
