Readers and former staff decry a terrible day for journalism and express grief at
Job cuts
Devoted readers and former staff of Australia’s local newspapers have expressed their grief at News Corp Australia’s announcement of significant job cuts and the print closure of more than 100 local and regional newspapers.
The media company’s chairman, Michael Miller, said the papers would move to digital as the impact of
Coronavirus has hit the advertising spending that keeps the print papers afloat. Dozens of other local mastheads will stop publishing altogether.
