After delaying a strike slated for last Friday, journalists at Reach are instead set to strike on Wednesday.

Further discussions over a pay settlement over the weekend between the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Reach ended in a stalemate.

NUJ members at national titles including the Daily Mirror and Daily Express and regional titles including Manchester Evening News and Liverpool Echo also voted to strike on 14 and 15 September.

There was a 70% turnout, with 79% in favour of strikes and 88% for other forms of industrial action.
