News Corp’s Gold Coast Bulletin slashes journalist positions as it ‘updates’ newsroom
News Corp’s Gold Coast Bulletin has slashed 10 journalist positions, Mumbrella understands. But the company has denied it is closing the paper.
The regional paper was owned by News Corp prior to its regional expansion through the acquisition of APN News & Media’s regional division at the end of last year.
A News Corp spokesperson confirmed there had been redundancies however declined to share a specific number.
News Corp owned the Gold Coast Bulletin before the APN merger?
“The regional paper was bought by News Corp through the acquisition of APN News & Media’s regional division at the end of last year.”
Hi ??,
You are most right – I’ve fixed that up and thanks so much for flagging.
Cheers,

The Gold Coast Bulletin was not bought as part of the ARM purchase. It has been part of the News Corp stable for many, many years.
News Corp took ownership of the Gold Coast Bulletin many many decades prior to the recent acquisition of APN’s ARM division. Much better to research the facts first.
I am shocked, I did not realize the paper actually used journalists.
Haha. Agree.
