    So, will be no more as of June. I’m honestly struggling to breathe and don’t know if I will get back to everyone who has been so kind to reach out. I have so many select words I could use to express my feelings.

    Entirely in the spirit of AAP that great reporters like reported the closure of their own newswire swiftly, accurately, and without bias. I am not a wire journo, so I feel free to tell you that this decision is a fucking disgrace.

    AAP will be closing.

    AAP closing is really, really bad for Australia. It means less local reporting and more ideological reporting in every major outlet. Feels like the kind of thing we'll look back on one day and really regret.

    It is miserable to hear the news about AAP. Their Canberra journalists have just joined us in the press gallery at Question Time. That’s the thing about AAP — they always turn up.

    It has been the greatest privilege of my career to spend the past 10 years working at AAP. It is a sad day for journalism in Australia.

    AAP's numbers yesterday - Our top 10 sport stories were published 1595 times. Our top 10 news stories were published 2514 times. That's 4109 blank spaces on websites and newspapers, dead air on radio that would need to be filled without us.

    Fox Sports is yet another website that would be vastly diminished without AAP copy.

    AAP words and photos are attributed 10 times in today’s The Age. In The Herald Sun our photos are on the front and back pages and takes up almost all of page 14 under her own name.
