Almost 70 jobs will be cut from Fairfax newspapers across the Hunter, as the company presses ahead with its restructure.

The announcement that 69 full-time positions will be axed, including 37 at the Newcastle Herald, was made to staff this morning.

The Maitland Mercury will be reduced from five days a week to three, while the Singleton Argus will become a weekly newspaper.

Around two thirds of the positions cut will be editorial staff.
