Journalists in the News: Falling number of media jobs a concern for industry
The number of new journalism jobs has fallen sharply, according to research by journalism.co.uk.
The specialist journalism website found that job adverts from companies like BBC, NewsUK, Telegraph Media Group and the Financial Times fell by around one third.
“Last year’s drop in editorial recruitment figures approaches the downturn experienced during the pandemic in its severity,” said John Thompson, director at Journalism.co.uk.
“But a combination of low salaries and fewer opportunities can only lead to young talent looking elsewhere for careers and could cost an industry that desperately needs to continue to innovate dearly in the long term.”
It follows a recent report by Press Gazette that found there were at least 8,000 journalism job cuts in UK and North America last year.
The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is hosting a seminar to explore issues relating to AI journalism.
Methodologies for tracking and reporting AI is part of the Global Journalism Seminar series run by the Institute.
Emmy-award winning journalism Professor Hilke Schellmann will deliver the talk at 1pm on 14th February.

The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has come out fighting in 2024 – already agreeing to be grilled in TV interviews by Laura Kuenssberg and Piers Morgan.
And later this week ITV will broadcast “Rishi Sunak: Up Close” – a programme that promises to deliver to some personal insights into the famously image-conscious prime minister.
Deputy political editor of ITV News, Anushka Asthana, got rare access to Sunak as he returned to his family home in Southampton and joined him as he watched Saints at St Mary’s.
Media watchers and Tory strategists will be carefully watching how Sunak performs.
They’ll want to see if he can handle the confrontational approach of the sit-down interviews, while also coming across a a normal human being in the long-form documentary format.
BBC Local Radio audiences declined by 10% in the second half of last year, according to the latest RAJAR figures.
The results follow major restructuring at the BBC that saw established local radio presenters leaving the corporation and an increase in programme sharing across regions.
Analysis by Press Gazette found that the BBC’s local radio services in England collectively had a weekly reach of 4.9 million in the Q4. Full report here.
