YOGYAKARTA: A total of 49 employees consisting of 15
journalists and 34 general staffers of the Bernas newspaper in
Yogyakarta were dismissed on Sunday evening by the company due to
its worsening financial situation.

The daily stopped publishing on Monday, but a new investor
plans to publish a new daily called Bernas Jogja.

Several of the dismissed employees protested against what they
said was their unfair dismissal. --JP
