MEAA statement on Fairfax Media proposal

In response to Fairfax Media’s announcement this morning of proposed changes, MEAA Media director Katelin McInerney said: “Fairfax journalists have delivered in spades for the company: more readers than ever and record digital subscription numbers. The announcement from the company today leaves more questions than answers.

“We are looking for a genuine consultation that draws on the expertise of the editorial floor and ensures any restructure enhances Fairfax core strength – its journalism,” McInerney said.
