“Two years ago it was estimated that 2,500 roles had disappeared during or
since 2012. If so, it now seems that 3,000 is a conservative estimate..”
– The Conversation, May 9, 2017
Yes, there have been job losses

Yes, but they are different.

According to the Department of Employment, in 2015 there were 27,500 people employed as journalists or writers, and this is
predicted to grow by 10% to 30,300 by 2020.
This compares to predicted growth in all professional employment of 14.4% and of all employment by 8% over the same period. On
the demand side of the journalist labour market, growth is expected to be OK.
– Prof Phil Lewis, Professor of Economics, University of Canberra, in The Conversation, May 19, 2017
“There are jobs in journalism, just not traditional ones”
