I heard that Sky News wants 70 per cent premium paid content by 2030 and that worries me. I get that funding models are shifting but it feels like news is becoming an exclusive club. Will the stories I care about only live behind paywalls someday? Would love to know if anyone else feels priced out from their news too.

I feel the same. I already pay for a couple of subscriptions and it adds up fast. I worry important stories will only reach those who can afford them. News should be accessible, not a luxury item.

Once news starts to feel like a premium perk instead of a public service, something’s broken

Call back the number and it goes to voicemail. The following week I get a rejection email. Just so frustrating EY

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

Human interest stories might not be where the money is, but making the switch has saved my sanity after the tragedy I’ve covered the past few years.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
