Times of Israel – Struggling Israeli newspaper Maariv announced Sunday that it will lay off all of its printing staff, in an attempt to salvage the cash-strapped publication and prevent its closure. The decision was agreed upon by the daily’s trustees and union representatives as well as the management, led by owner Shlomo Ben-Tzvi.
According to the agreement, the management will dismiss some 50 print workers in the coming days, and will fire an additional 20-30 journalists in the future.
