Abstract

In May 2020, at the height of the first Covid-19 lockdown in Queensland, Australia, the nation's biggest news organisation, News Corp, announced they were closing many of their regional journals. For much of regional Queensland, the onset of news deserts looked probable until Victorian-based Star News Group filled the void left by News Corp. This paper looks at these changes from the perspective of journalists working for Star newspapers in the Queensland regional centres of Noosa and Gympie - and it reveals the challenges facing community journalism in post-Murdoch regional Queensland.
