Cuttings jobs

 As newspapers move from weekday and weekend teams to seven-day operations, the seven-day operation of BBC News Online is moving to separate weekday and weekend teams. And it looks like they're moving into traditional newspaper territory for Saturday and Sunday. 

"We are looking for Senior Journalists to join a new team focused on planning and producing bespoke commissioned content for weekend audiences. Working closely with the digital planning and publishing team under Curations, you will be expected to organise and commission content – news stories, short-form text, features and video – that works for weekend audiences and meets the exacting standards of the BBC News front page, and see it through to publication."

So there are ads for Senior Journalists, Digital News Weekends; Senior Journalists, Digital Live Weekends; and Senior Journalists, Weekend Curation and Planning. 

Here's one weekend feature that presumably already meets the exacting standards required: "Gregg Wallace and the celebrities who have overshared their daily routines", the subject of a 'push' notification, seven days after Mr Wallace described his Saturdays in The Telegraph. If that's what 'winning the weekends' (© D Turness and J Munro Enterprises) then I'd rather BBC News lost.
