APN News & Media’s deal to sell its Australian Regional Media division to News Corp Australia will be put to shareholders on 16 September 2016. ARM publishes regional and community newspapers in New South Wales and Queensland, and employs about 1,200 people. News Corp is expected to retrench about 300 staff if the deal proceeds, although these are likely to include some staff in its own regional operations in order to reduce duplication.
