The ABC has announced 120 job cuts, including their political editor Andrew Probyn, and are instead deciding to invest more into their digital platforms.

With the sacking of high-profile journalist Andrew Probyn, it’s clear the ABC believe they no longer require a political editor.

The changes being rolled out are reported to be part of a savings strategy to address rising costs and support the ABC’s transition to a digital-first media organisation.

Among the ABC’s transitions, they will introduce ABC News Sunday – a new national bulletin.

Neil Breen said on Brisbane Live, “now that is spin for ‘we’re only going to have one bulletin on a Sunday and it’ll be a national one, and we’re getting rid of the bulletins in Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and all the regional areas'”.
