Staff at the UK news titles have yet to be briefed on the proposals to expand across the Atlantic, which have been the subject of internal discussion for some time. Company sources said the project would involve hiring dozens of staff to work on a US edition of the right-wing Express, with a similar number working on a US edition of the left-wing Mirror. Despite their different political views, both publications are owned by publisher Reach, which declined to comment on the plans. Jim Mullen, the chief executive of Reach, who has become the focus of staff fury over his £4m pay deal, is said to be eyeing the US audience who read MailOnline (DailyMail to US readers) and Sun. These outlets have attracted significant online audiences, taking British tabloid values ​​across the Atlantic with a heavy focus on celebrity news. The prospect of recruiting new staff in the US to write stories for the Express and Mirror is unlikely to improve relations between British employees and their bosses. Journalists at Reach’s UK and Irish publications – which include the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and dozens of local papers – have complained of low morale and low pay, with junior staff earning less than £20,000 a year even after from years of education. Despite high inflation and the cost of living crisis, Reach management is refusing to consider increasing the existing pay offer beyond the 3% increase. After a first day of strike action on Wednesday, when hundreds of journalists walked out, the National Union of Journalists ordered its members to work to rule and not work overtime. Another three-day strike is scheduled to begin on September 13. Reach’s offices were stormed by staff on Wednesday, including at the company’s headquarters in Canary Wharf, London, with staff from all publications huddled together. Richard Palmer, the Daily Express’s royal correspondent and leader of the paper’s trade union chapel, said staff needed more money. “People are struggling, especially younger digital journalists,” he said. “I know people who work second jobs to make ends meet.” Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you to the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morning Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain information about charities, online advertising and content sponsored by external parties.

He blamed senior executives, especially Mullen. “It’s all about hurting our labor costs so they can make more money for themselves and shareholders,” Palmer added. Express staff have received a message of solidarity from the RMT union, which is currently organizing strikes on the rail network. Palmer said this support had been noted in the Express newsroom, despite the publication’s editorials regularly warning that unions risked “bringing the country to its knees”. He said: “A lot of younger people have said Mick Lynch [secretary general of the RMT] and the RMT have made them realize what unions are all about. All newspapers have editorial lines, journalists working for the newspapers do not necessarily always agree with the editorial line. At any social level, who agrees with their employer on everything?’
