The strike by Fairfax Media journalists didn’t take long to make itself felt on the front page of today’s Sydney Morning Herald which went to press with a howler on the front page headline.
Today’s edition of the SMH features the headline: “Household debt a threat to ecomomy”.
Sydney Morning Herald and The Age journalists went on strike on Wednesday for seven days in response to an announcement that 125 full-time jobs are facing the chopping block.
Of course, for non-striking journalists on sister title The Australian Financial Review, it might look a lot like business as usual.
