At the end of August, there was the big issue in the Australian press. Fairfax, Australia’s leading media company,  says it will cut about 550 jobs, or 5 per cent of its workforce, as part of a “business improvement program”. Fairfax journalists across Australia were on strike in protest at the company’s plans.

Why Fairfax decides to cut so much jobs like that? During discussion with my classmate from South America, she told me this happens regularly in her country and Western countries.

This case continues the debate about development and future of newspapers. Revenue/profit, breaking news (looking news in depth) and freedom of speech are the important things that affect on any kind of media.
