Express Newspapers could lose almost all its district reporters as part of its ongoing redundancy scheme.

The company, which publishes the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday, is in talks with its six district reporters, some of whom have worked for the publisher for more than 20 years. Express Newspapers wants to rely on news agencies instead.

Express Newspapers has earmarked five regional positions for redundancy out of six. One volunteer has already accepted and a second round of consultation is due this week.
