Nine Throws Axe on News

Nine's decision to axe its Sunday and Nightline news programmes has sent revirbirations around Australian newsrooms this week.

It causes also could not have been simpler, with Nine bosses clearly labelling profitability and a competitive marketplace as being the fallguys for the shows, after over a decade on air for both shows.

The move marks a clear trend of commercial stations cutting back on news content and being slow in their willingness to take on new organisational models demanded by the new technological age we are entering into.
