Overview
- Nine will cut up to 20 jobs in its TV news and current affairs unit in an initial sweep.
- Sydney and Canberra newsrooms, foreign bureaus, and the Today show are expected to be hit first, according to The Daily Telegraph report carried by PerthNow.
- The unit employs about 800 people nationwide, which shows the early cuts are limited in scale.
- An internal email from executive director Fiona Dear warned staff that more job losses are likely to follow.
- Dear said the 'Future News' program is the division's largest investment in decades and will bring new systems, training, and gear that streamline roles and require broader skills.
