‘How about we see more investment in the people on the ground?’: Nine bosses blasted for being in Paris amidst journo strike
Nine Entertainment bosses who are currently in Paris for the Olympics have been slammed as journalists for the media giant commenced a planned five-day strike on Friday morning.
Nine Publishing journalists from The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, Brisbane Times, and WAtoday walked off the job at 11am on Friday morning after a meeting with management failed to put a stop to those plans, following news of job cuts in the publishing division last month.
Hours after the strike commenced, acting Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) media federal president, Kate Ferguson – who was on ground in Perth for the strikes – told Mumbrella that they are calling on the federal government to “step up and support journalism”.

What is the detail of the offer from Nine?
I’m all for solidarity but why is the MEAA and the journalists not telling us what it is they are rejecting?
