A five-day strike carried out by Nine journalists has reached a resolution.

On Wednesday evening, the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) confirmed that striking union members have secured an “in-principle agreement” with management.

The MEAA confirmed that the agreement “will deliver an inflation-busting pay rise this year (4%, 3.75%, 3.75%), ethical use of AI in newsrooms and a way forward for freelancers to get a fair deal on pay and conditions”.

“Our members should be very proud that their solidarity with each other and their commitment to their role of public interest journalism has produced this outcome,” acting director of MEAA Media, Michelle Rae, said.
