Fair go Fairfax - Don't discount journalism

Anonymous — Wed, 18 May 2011 07:53:00 +0000

Working journalists at Fairfax Media are engaged in a fight for their future and the future of their newspapers. The announcement this week by Fairfax management that they intend to rip $25 million out of the cost of running their major metropolitan mastheads, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age by sacking up to 100 subeditors and other production staff, is a plan that risks irrevocable damage to these loved and respected newspapers.

As promised in the report, I then notify The Age Newsdesk, John Garnaut, Media Watch and Walkleys Foundation the following day (25 May 2010).
