Saturday 25th April 2015
Unite's office, Transport House, 211 Broad Street, Birmingham B15 1AY
The union's newspapers and agencies industrial council is holding an event for reps to discuss the challenges in the industry and how chapels and branches can respond.
The summit is being called in response to the fundamental changes facing newspaper journalism.
In the past decade more than 5,000 journalist jobs have gone and 150 titles have closed. Digital newsrooms are transforming the way journalists are expected to work. Despite taking on these changes, journalists have not seen their pay improve and are experiencing heavy workloads because they are expected to bring in stories, cover events, produce videos and podcasts and use social media.
Picture desk employees and staff photographers are being cut across the board and production is being moved away from the local paper to subbing hubs many miles away.
Activists and the union's organisers will discuss these developments, which affect all the major regional publishers, and will review the most effective ways to strengthen journalists and journalism during this period of rapid evolution.
