Trinity Mirror Expand Digital Editorial Department

25 new digital editorial staff are to be hired by the Trinity Mirror group.

The recruitment will double the online department and increasing its output to 2,000 stories a week.

It is understood that the group, which produce The Mirror and Sunday Mirror, are focusing efforts on their digital output in the hopes to attracting readership when The Sun establishes its paywall this summer.

The news follows a move in January when the group cut 90 editorial roles across its regional newspapers. It was part of a new "digital first" strategy to focus on online traffic and content.
