Cutbacks in Swedish public radio

Swedish Radio News reports that the number of employees working with national radio production at Swedish Radio will be decreased by 40%. The staff reductions are among the conclusions in an internal study, analyzing the consequence of decisions made by Swedish Radio’s management and Board of Directors.
Recently Swedish Radio announced it had to save 100 million kronor (more than US$14 million) by 2008 because of a budget deficit.
