Journalists warn of culture differences and conflicts in reaction to Nine Fairfax merger
Journalists and media figures have had a mixed reaction to the Nine and Fairfax merger with former reporters who’ve worked with both companies warning there is a big culture difference between the two organisations.
Former Fairfax journalist Katherine Murphy reflected much of the print company’s mood around the announcement, tweeting she wanted to cry on hearing the news the merged company will be called Nine.
"The merged company will be called Nine". I've spent most of my working life at Fairfax. I want to cry.
Miss Price’s claims notwithstanding, no one has said: “Fairfax BOUGHT it on itself” – other than Miss Price herself, of course.
But quite a few have justly observed that Fairfax has brought its end upon itself.
The perennial question has been “How much longer can Fairfax stagger on?” Now that we have an answer, the post-mortem can begin.
Hi Pairdell,
Apologies. It appears it was was actually us who made that embarrassing typo, not Jenna herself. I have amended it in our copy.
Thanks,
Vivienne – Mumbrella
Not our fault?
You could have fooled me. Fairfax journos have written against and undermined the values and the beliefs of their readers for decades; blissfully ignorant that they drove away hundreds of thousands of the very people who funded their salaries.
The inmates of the left ran the asylum and they are now paying the price – if they have not already done so.
Jenna Price’s response? Still in denial.
