Journalists at 2 of Australia’s Biggest Papers Strike Over Job Cuts -
By JACQUELINE WILLIAMSMAY 3, 2017
SYDNEY, Australia — Staff members at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age
and their sister publications at Fairfax Media, among the most powerful voices in the Australian news media, began a weeklong strike on Wednesday over job cuts.
On Wednesday morning, the company sent an email to staff members saying it would cut 125 full-time positions at The Morning Herald
and The Age, with some also expected at The Australian Financial Review.
“While we will be looking across all parts of the newsroom, at the end of the redundancy program we expect there will be significantly fewer editorial management, video, presentation
and section writer roles,” wrote Sean Aylmer, editorial director at Fairfax Media.
