Fairfax finished its round of redundancies last night, with 30 forced out of a total of 100. Nobody should be surprised to learn that this won’t be the last – it is almost certain there will be another when the company ceases printing the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age from Monday to Friday, which it confirmed last week.
