Yesterday afternoon, media mogul Rupert Murdoch's company News Ireland told journalists working at the Times and Sunday Times in Ireland that some of their jobs would be scrapped as part of a new restructuring plan.

The publication is in the process of getting rid of its daily digital offering, putting a reported 15 journalism jobs in jeopardy.
