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.

Easy done. Never read them anyway.

  Maybe I’ll start reading them now. I support journalism, but that’s not what they do

Guess I won’t change what I’m doing then. Do they deserve more money for writing absolute drivel and propaganda? Given how much their company makes from it maybe

  I dunno about the other arms, but BT has actually become really quite good over the last year or so.

    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

  I don’t blame the workers for the constraints of their garbage company. I doubt they can just pick what they want to write about, they’re ultimately working to survive and taking the jobs on offer. Plus, systematic pressures on mass media are a whole thing.
  
  If the workers get a pay rise, it digs into Nine Publishing’s egregeous profits. There’s also the broader impact of successful strike action on the rest of the labour movement in our fights for decent conditions. Solidarity is strength.

Anything we can do beyond spreading the news? I don’t click, share, buy or even steal their content.

  Here’s their request from the MEAA’s Facebook page:
  
  Journalists at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times & WAtoday.com.au are now on strike until 11am Wednesday. Freelancers are standing shoulder to shoulder with them. Here’s how you can support them:
  
  Sign and share this petition: meaa.io/3SoUHem
  
  Post a message of support to social media using the hashtag #DontTorchJournalism
  
  From 11am AEST on Friday, July 26 until 11am AEST on Wednesday, July 31, don’t cross the virtual picket line. That means do not click on any articles from Nine mastheads and don’t buy the papers.
  
  Donate to support the more vulnerable, insecure workers who are giving up their pay while on strike: meaa.io/3zYyjCo
