The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday are to be brought “much closer together” and cut staff as part of a digital drive.

Daily Mail editor Ted Verity said in an email to staff on Thursday that parent company DMGT was proposing “some reduction” in headcount, but only at the print titles.

“Some roles will be placed at risk of redundancy, while other staff may see a change in working pattern, job title, line manager, or duties,” Verity wrote.
