OMC09: No Andy, the NUJ wouldn’t like it
January 22nd, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Events, Jobs
UK secretary of state for culture, media and sport, Andy Burnham, told the Oxford Media Convention today that his first job after leaving university was on a local paper – he’s well equipped to address the issue of the ailing industry then.
Especially, as he admitted, he was brought onto the paper to replace a redundant staff member. What’s more, he worked unpaid.
Not sure the National Union of Journalists would have liked that, he added – not a lot, Andy, not a lot.
