Name: Donna MacAllister on Aug 7, 2007Comments: A job I dreamed of having and have worked for five years to reach (at a cost of more than £12,000) has become almost impossible because the bosses have cut staff to such a drastic level. Every journalist must deverything in his or her power to save the journalism profession from this slaying.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 7, 2007Comments: Reporters should be encouraged to do more field reporting and investigative reporting, and not to rely on press releases and wire services for news. Budget constrain is a compromise to editorial quality. To reduce a reporter's travel budget and reporting hours outside the office for cost-cutting purposes is false economy. The culture of rehashing press releases and phone interviews are damaging the credibility of journalists, especially those in trade publishing. Journalists are observers, and should have the freedom to relay first-hand account of events.Flag

Name: Basil Jackson on Aug 7, 2007Comments: There is a general management movement to reduce expert journalistic reporting in favour of increased corporation profits. Aside from a couple of notable exceptions, valuable press reporting and intelligent comentaries are sliding into replacement of media contents with irrelevant banalities.Flag

Name: Stephen McHugh on Aug 7, 2007Comments: The industry has been on a downward curve for too long and it's time that managements showed more concern for their publications, and particularly the dedicated people who produce them.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 7, 2007Comments: For years journalists, especially young journalists, have put up with poor pay, and more and more demands at work. They are also increasingly desk bound because employers want more productivity but this leads to a lower quality of reporting. It's time for journalists to run the media, not justaccountants!Flag

Name: John Izbicki on Aug 7, 2007Comments: Honest and accurate journalism is slowly being killed by the penny-pinching greed of current owners. Constant redundancies in order to save money will eventually spell the destruction of the industry.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 7, 2007Comments: The sooner newspaper groups realise that their products are really owned by their readers, the better. Respect for journalists would surely follow, ending this nightmare of money-driven contempt for all but shareholders.Flag
