Fairfax Media has announced a major restructure which will see it charge for digital content, close its two major printing presses and move to a new tabloid-size paper.
According to an announcement made to the sharemarket and staff this morning, the company plans to begin charging for access to certain online content by the end of 2012.
It will also introduce a new tabloid-sized format, which it called a ‘compact’ for
The Sydney Morning Herald and
The Age, similar to the one currently used for the
Australian Financial Review since March 4, 2013.
