Natarsha has been cut from 7
Southern Cross Media, which owns the television network, announced between 250 and 300 job cuts last week, noting that market conditions had deteriorated more quickly than anticipated.
Across the Sydney and Melbourne newsrooms, nine have been made redundant. Just one male reporter, veteran journalist Chris Maher, has been forced out.
Among those leaving the business are Sydney-based reporters Brianna Jackson, Amy Clements and Phoebe Worthley, and Melbourne-based Rochelle Brown.
Natarsha Belling, hired last year to present the national news at noon, is also out.
Reporters Estelle Griepink (who is also on maternity leave), Grace Fitzgibbon and Inga Neilsen took voluntary redundancies.
