Newspapers of  the Thomas Crosbie Holdings (TCH) media group could switch to production outsourcing, Anthony Dinan group managing director is quoted as saying in an interview in yesterday’s Sunday Tribune.  

Dinan said outsourcing was one of a number of cost-cutting moves which could be use.

He also said the recent outsourcing at rival IN&M paved the way for any such move without objection from the NUJ, but the NUJ said the vote by their members at IN&M titles was not a vote for an overall acceptance of the idea of outsourcing.

TCH owns the Irish Examiner, the Sunday Business Post, a large selection of regional newspapers and other media interests including a percentage of radio stations Red FM, Beat FM, and MidWest Radio.
