Market conditions

BBC Scotland is recruiting 15 researchers on one-year contracts to help with referendum coverage. It's billed as a journalism training scheme, with "a chance to learn on the job". "There is no guarantee of a job at the end of the training but we will do our best to help you find one".

This will sit uncomfortably with journalists who've been made redundant over past year. Overall, BBC Scotland will lose around 120 jobs under cuts required by "Delivering Quality First" - around one in ten of the workforce.
