MEAA urges publishers to provide more support to reporters following Daily Mail incident
The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) is attributing lack of resources and an “absence of oversight” to the firing of a Daily Mail Australia reporter this week and urged publishers to provide more support to journalists.
According to The Guardian, Daily Mail Australia fired a reporter who ‘accidentally’ uploaded her own work about reality television contestants being “vapid cunts” on Sunday.
Sorry MEAA, you’re wrong. That a so-called “journalist” would have even written such a line in the first place doesn’t have anything to do with a lack of editing resources or management oversight, but says a lot about the arrogance of people who call themselves “journalists” these days.
Agree, who on earth writes that as part of their own copy? Even if you think it.. Just another example of Daily Mail self imploding.
Sorry ex-ABC, you’re the one who is wrong.
Most Australians aren’t pompous c*nts like you, trying to pretend you’re upper class by having fake British accents and speak proper, and we use the word c*nt as much as you do beaujolais.
Good old Daily Fail, who is running that place… It’s an absolute debacle. Editorial publishing [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] , not to mention slamming every brand under the sun, Sales teams rapidly losing traction in market,
Zero moral, I’ve heard some pretty awful things are happening under recent “new” hires.
Good luck to them, feels like head office might need to get involved and shake up the management of that place if it stands a chance of surviving.
Given the usual standard of content on their site, I’m surprised anyone there noticed – or that they felt the need to sack the “journalist” (and I use the term loosely).
But what I want to know is, what was the original source for that language? Because everything in the Daily Mail is copied from somewhere else, right?
Still looking for that thing you called “regular sub-editing process”.
But seriously, it’s journalism 101 to never write in the first place words you wouldn’t use in front of grandma. We’ve all learnt the hard way. Some examples are funny, some excruciating and some just too bad.
