This article talks about Rupert Murdoch’s Australian tabloids are making the majority of their photographers and subeditors redundant in a radical cost-cutting move designed to keep the ailing newspaper business afloat. The director of editorial management, Campbell Reid, said the restructure of the traditional newsroom was needed to “preserve in print and excel in digital”. The Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun and the Courier-Mail are set to lose dozens of staff each – the Queensland masthead alone will cut 45 – although the company is not revealing the total number of job losses.

The demise of the print stage is simply something that we'll proceed and keep on seeing later on. Simply a week ago, Fairfax Media excessively declared cuts that'll make many writers and picture takers lose their business to help shave off $30m from the yearly publication spending plan. While these moves will help the enterprises that attempt them to remain above water, something we can anticipate that at any rate will some level is decreases in the nature of the media we're getting. 'Publication ability' is something that'll be significantly more hard to show which could conceivably reduce a key mainstay of news itself.
