(From Reuters -- By Paul J. Gough)
ABC NEWS will cut about 35 positions worldwide as part of a two-year review of its operations that will reposition the news division for the world of digital media.
It won't be a straight 35 jobs cut, as some positions will be added in digital media and elsewhere while others will be eliminated.
The level of cuts is comparatively small for the size of ABC News, roughly 1% of its worldwide work force.
ABC News President DAVID WESTIN made the announcement in an internal email to staffers Friday. Westin said further details would come out later but that the news division was going to spend the next two years adding positions in key areas while cutting back in other areas.
Westin wasn't available for comment Friday.
Westin wrote that the plan was to make sure that ABC NEWS and its broadcasts remained strong as well as build where it can and "redesign the division to reflect the growing importance of our digital offerings -- and their centrality to our future."
