With groups like Trinity slashing staff numbers and making people redundant, I would be astonished if most journalists who remain will get the time to stray from their screen/desks and phone. Perhaps a study into what journalists do after they have been made redundant, would be more instructive? How many are successfully making the transition to web-based content, how many are still able to use their journalistic skills in a new capacity, how many are leaving on or off-line journalism completely, etc, would be illuminating? There would be lots of data and lots of interesting case studies.... Perhaps I should suggest it to the NUJ? Not sure how productive this is going to be.

They have a great track record in a lot of social and business projects outside of journalism. Just to say that Sandbox isn’t a journalism lab, more a social/creative/facilitation set-up.
