ANALYSIS: News Corp going digital is the latest sign of the Murdoch empire's struggles
Some mastheads will close completely. Profitable regional papers like the Cairns Post and the NT News will remain in print. Metropolitan papers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide will remain in print and will focus on greater regional coverage to fill some of the void.
