Broken Hill’s only newspaper has closed after almost 130 years of operation in a major blow to the outback NSW community.
Jason Irvine – one of two remaining full-time journalists at the paper – had just finished two interviews and lined up photos with sources when he was told about midday on Wednesday he no longer had a job because of cashflow problems. “It’s always sort of been on edge, I feel, for the past six months at least … we just weren’t sure where it was heading,” Irvine said.
