UK: Journalists' union plans quality journalism campaign
Posted by Lindsay Berrigan on April 12, 2007 at 11:03 AM
As many news organizations stretch their journalists thin to produce multimedia content, the National Union of Journalists, whose annual conference began today, is planning a campaign to push quality journalism.
"At a time when media employers are using that new technology, not to enhance journalism and build quality but simply to reduce costs, undermine collective bargaining and boost profits, the NUJ's campaign for quality journalism is ever more vital," said NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear.
Dear said that though new media is exciting, journalists being pushed to create podcasts, video, and online content need new working practices to cope with corporate demands.
"The demands of integration and convergence have meant a growth in 24/7 working but no growth in staffing levels,” said Dear. “The pressure on our members is approaching breaking point in many places."
The 300 delegates at the conference will discuss media convergence and integration.
