Hos JD Lasica ser jeg et blogindlæg om, at de unge journalister overvejer at smutte fra newsrooms, hvor udviklingen er for langsom.
Det er konklusionen af en undersøgelse af 10 newsrooms:
While a certain amount of turnover is expected and normal among the youngest practitioners of any craft — in pursuit of career advancement or reflecting a simple change of heart — these messages seemed different in both volume and intensity. A majority of younger journalists (age 29 and below) in nearly every pilot seemed to us to be saying, “We’re leaving because the changes we see as necessary aren’t happening fast enough.”
Spændende, men næppe vanvittigt overraskende. Undersøgelsen “All Eyes Forward” kan hentes som PDF (164 sider).
