News Corp shuts dozens of newspapers in Australia amid coronavirus pandemic

As a result of the changes, the bulk of News Corp's regional and community titles would move to purely digital publishing from June 29

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp will discontinue publishing in Australia dozens of newspapers and the print version of more than 100 community publications as it restructures the company to tide over the coronavirus pandemic.

News Corp, which owns popular tabloids like The Daily Telegraph and The Herald Sun, said on Wednesday the move "will mean some job roles will change and, regretfully, will lead to job losses." The publisher, however, didn't disclose how many people will lose jobs.
