Good heavens looks like Rachel Johnson, Nick Ferrari and Julia Hartley-Brewer is involved with GB News in some form or other.

I have, it's just poorly written and have put an Edit in.

You do kinda get a perspective at what they are looking for though by those picks..

I left that one out at my own peril. 😉

140 jobs including 120 journalists.
Sun News in Canada had about the same level of staffing but it wasn't broken down.

Sun News had very low quality presentation on weekdays and barely any live programming on weekends and holidays.

There is a new channel called NEWSFORUM that is trying to resurrect the conservative/Sun News model in Canada. Gets an

Just checked their website and it's basically the primetime show with endless reruns the rest of the day, including weekends. I think they have lesser resources than Sun News!

We’re looking for brilliant journalists from all backgrounds to help us shake things up.
You’ll be bursting with ideas and determined to find original stories and new voices from every part of the country.

You’ll be a disruptor and an innovator who approaches the news in a provocative and entertaining way.


They've missed a bit.
"If you hate Europe and can't stand to listen to, or is easy to ignore, anything that is said by the current opposition in the Houses Of Parliament we'd love to hear from you"

<serious point>
But I've been thinking about this. Because of this outfits leanings of varying angles of degrees towards the right, I assume that you will, at some point in the application/interview process, have to declare your voting and political leanings? Because you can't see them hiring just anybody incase they have minor/medium/hard liberal or socialist views of society and life - exactly the sort they need to weed out before airtime.

Which in turn leads to some very interesting questions on whether this is discrimination, and no worse than denying someone a job based on gender, skin colour, regional accent, appearance or sexuality?

Exactly the sort of debate that riles up some on the right and makes them shout a lot, and get annoyed with modern society.
