Staff were today told of the proposal, which affects 13 of its Auckland and Northland titles.
Stuff has confirmed 16 reporter and three news director jobs could be made redundant.
Staff were told three senior reporter roles could be introduced to cover west Auckland, the North Shore, south and east Auckland, with an additional senior reporter based in Whangarei.
Should the proposal go ahead, it's understood the staff would made redundant just before Christmas.
Stuff, which runs the stuff.co.nz website as was formerly known as Fairfax, recently failed in its bid to merge with its main competitor, New Zealand Herald publisher NZME.
