Al Jazeera is reducing its headcount by up to 500 positions as oil-rich Qatar looks to streamline its costs amid the global decline in crude prices.
The state-funded broadcaster is making the move after previously making 700 job losses earlier this year.
Director General Mostefa Souag said the reductions would allow the network to “evolve our business operation in order to maintain a leading position and continue our recognised commitment to high quality, independent and hard-hitting journalism around the world.”
Up to 60% of the job cuts are expected to be made from the company’s Doha base.
