- Press Gazette, Thursday, March 28, 2013 2:44 PM
The Evening Standard reported yesterday that journalists in the Qatari broadcaster's UK newsroom in Knightsbridge had been abruptly told 15-20 of them were to be sent to Doha. The article said a "brusque" email from director of news Salah Negm had given journalists ten days' notice of the move, and gave no promises they would have jobs on their return to London. It also quoted an NUJ source who said staff were "utterly appalled" at the news.
