| Fairfax Media journalists have launched strike action after the company announced a restructure plan in photographic, editorial production and "Life Media".
The proposal includes plans for Fairfax's major mastheads, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review to outsource much of their photography. The mastheads will retain about 10 staff photographers and about 10 photo desk staff but make use of an external provider, Getty Images.
Fairfax has also proposed to cut its inhouse editorial production team and some staff are earmarked for departure across the company's Life Media arm, namely in travel and food. This and other proposed changes to the three areas would result in about 70 job losses.
