Sources have indicated that News Corp Australia will shift to digital-only editions of some regional and community newspapers after negotiations to sell the business ended. News Corp launched a number of digital-only newspapers in 2018, with content that is produced by a local reporter being supplemented with stories from other newspapers in its portfolio. News Corp is believed to be considering this model for newspapers that will become digital-only.
