Aberdeen Live closure devastating blow to Scotland’s media landscape
The reported closure of Aberdeen Live by Reach PLC is another devastating blow to the Scottish media landscape, the Scottish Greens have said.
After the closure of STV North and subsequent job losses, the latest announcement from Reach will cause serious concerns in the local community.
The Scottish Greens stand in solidarity with workers at Aberdeen Live following the announcement.
Scottish Green North East MSP Maggie Chapman said:
“The closure of Aberdeen Live is a devastating blow to Scotland’s media landscape and will cause serious concerns for workers, their families, and the local community.
“Following the closure of STV North, it is crucial that local communities in the North East have reliable news sources at a regional level at a time when misinformation is running rampant.
“Our solidarity is with the journalists and staff at Aberdeen Live who will be affected by this announcement.”
