Stuff Digital has announced up to eight staff may go as it says it is investing with in-depth journalism and "specialist content areas" in its editorial team.
In a statement, the media company said it had begun consultation with some of its editorial team across its national newsrooms.
Stuff said there were 300 employees across the group, and the proposal would directly affect a team of about 30.
"Today Stuff Digital has begun consultation with some of its editorial team on a simplified structure across our national newsrooms which, if it proceeds, may result in a maximum net reduction of eight staff, from a total Stuff Group editorial headcount of more than 300.
"The proposal is to invest in new roles in our In-Depth journalism team and in our specialist content areas," said the company.
"As it has always done, Stuff will continue to reshape the business, invest in new roles and in new products across the Group as we look to evolve for the future and for the benefit of our audiences and advertisers."
Employees with Stuff Digital's live news and commissioning teams were called into meetings today regarding the proposed changes.
The staff involved were reportedly emailed on Tuesday advising them of a meeting on Wednesday with HR, Stuff Digital editor in chief Keith Lynch and an E tū union rep.
