Web Focus For Wales

A group of Welsh newspapers is recruiting reporters to help realise its online ambitions.

Media Wales has six vacancies to fill as it aims to fully develop its digital integration plans for the South Wales Echo, Western Mail, Wales on Sunday and weekly titles.

The new jobs comprise five multimedia journalists and a communities editor, who will be required to produce copy for all titles on the icWales network.

Soon-to-be Head of Multimedia Pete Morrell told holdthefrontpage.co.uk: “The idea is to focus more on our online service then we’ve ever done previously.”

He added: “Instead of being title focussed it will be web focussed so we’ll have people working across titles.

“All our journalists from all our papers will feed copy into the website.”
