News Corp restructure moves ahead with photographer positions made redundant
News Corp has axed as many as 70 staff photographers from across its mastheads as the company moves to adopt an outsourcing model, according to a report in The Guardian.
According to the report, managers started meeting individual photographers for a “skills assessment” for forced redundancies last week.
The redundancies follow on from a restructure announcement from News Corp – which publishes the likes of The Daily Telegraph, The Australian, the Herald Sun and the Courier Mail – which revealed the publisher was set to slash jobs across its editorial operations in a move which will see most photographers made redundant and a drastic reduction in sub-editing staff.
