Don’t cross the virtual picket line at Nine Publishing.
From 11am AEST on Friday, July 26 until 11am AEST on Wednesday, July 31, we will join the virtual picket line in support of the #MEAAmedia members at Nine Publishing on strike.
That means we will not share or click on any articles from Nine mastheads, Sydney MorningHerald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times and WA Today, and won’t buy the papers.
I dunno about the other arms, but BT has actually become really quite good over the last year or so.
Plus, it’s unclear to me whether they want us to boycott Channel 9’s TV coverage of the Olympics or not. They did say we should avoid their Olympics reporting, but never specifically called out TV. That’s a much bigger ask I’d say.
Yeah I don’t think people will want to skip the Olympics—I’ll probably just watch highlights and the Equestrian Eventing (No Andrew Hoy this year unfortunately), it will all be on at a really early time anyway
