Final day for 70 News Corp photographers
News Corp today farewelled more than 70 staff photographers from across its mastheads.
The company marked the last day of the financial year with the biggest cull of photography talent in the company’s history. Staff were given sendoffs in newsrooms across the country.
The departures come just a month after News Corp – whose publications include The Daily Telegraph, The Australian, the Herald Sun and the Courier Mail – announced it would axe the positions and outsource much of its photography in order to save $40m.
They say “The Camera Never Lies”
Hardly surprising then that Rupert is sacking photographers.
Not necessarily smart to “consolidate” (“reduce”?) contact centre capacity to SA: we dropped our online subs because we couldn’t get service when directed to the SA outfit.
