Nick Davies, speaks out on media cutbacks
A report in the UK's MediaGuardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/26/nuj-day-of-action-newspaper-job-cuts, highlights Nick Davies views on current media cutbacks. Davies will speak at the WCSJ2009 (Tuesday 30th June, 3:30pm).
The Guardian piece reports Davies as saying it is a big lie that cutting staff and editorial resources is possible without damaging the quality of news produced. Davies was speaking at an National Union of Journalists (NUJ) summit that resulted in the NUJ calling for a day of action over recent newspaper job cuts.
Programmers for the WCSJ are currently in discussion with former CNN science journalists, to see how their experience of falling under the ax might contribute to the London Conference.
