Many journalists are ‘greatly concerned’about the effects of cross-media integration on their working conditions and practices, according to a report published today by the National Union of Journalists.

The report on multimedia working, produced by a special commission of seven NUJ members, examined how changes in the way news is produced and consumed is affecting journalists’ working conditions and the quality of their work, and how the union should respond.

‘Our evidence shows members are clearly greatly concerned about the effects of often ill-conceived multi-media plans on their working lives, on their health and safety and on the quality of the work they produce,’the report says.
