Axel Springer Plans Job Cuts Across Premium Group
Axel Springer is planning job cuts across its Premium Group, which includes Welt, Politico, Business Insider, and Icon. The company confirmed reductions affecting all areas, from editorial to graphics and business divisions. The cuts are expected to be in the medium double-digit range across all brands, aiming to eliminate duplicate and triple structures. While Süddeutsche Zeitung reported around 50 roles mainly at Welt, Springer did not confirm this, emphasizing all brands are affected. As a first step, the regional editorial offices of Welt am Sonntag in Hamburg and North Rhine-Westphalia are being dissolved, with printed regional supplements discontinued at year-end. This impacts six permanent editors and several freelancers. The company is in discussions with the works council to find mutually agreeable solutions. This follows Axel Springer's recent acquisition of the British Telegraph.
Samsung One UI 8.5 Adds Auracast Audio Broadcast
Samsung's One UI 8.5 introduces a Bluetooth feature based on the Auracast standard, enabling a local audio broadcast to an unlimited number of Bluetooth receivers via Bluetooth LE Audio and the LC3 codec. This differs from traditional pairing, which is limited to two receivers. Users can start a broadcast from Bluetooth settings, naming it and optionally password-protecting it. Compatible devices include Galaxy S23 and newer, Z Flip4/Fold4, and A54/A55; receiving headphones like Galaxy Buds2 Pro support it. The standard is still fragmented, with Apple not supporting the feature yet, and unclear legal implications for public broadcasts of copyrighted content.
