New Beats: mass redundancies and career change in Australian journalism

该项目的目的是在行业重组和技术变革的时代，对大规模裁员，被迫职业变化和澳大利亚新闻业的数字再造的作用进行多方面，创新和及时的分析。2012年，当1000名记者被解雇时，该国的新闻从业人员减少了15%。该项目旨在探讨这些记者职业生涯的转变，以及如何最好地解决有关专业新闻业结构转型经验及其积极适应变化的能力的问题。该项目预计将首次深入阐述经济、技术、工作场所和职业压力之间复杂的相互作用，重塑专业新闻业。

This aim of this project is a multifaceted, innovative and timely analysis of the role of mass redundancies, forced career changes and the digital reinvention of Australian journalism at a time of industry restructure and technological change. The nation's journalistic workforce shrank by 15 per cent in 2012 when 1000 journalists were made redundant. This project is intended to explore the transformation of the careers of these journalists and how to best address questions about professional journalism's experience of structural transformation and its capacity to adapt positively to change. The project is expected to provide the first in-depth account of the complex interplay between economic, technological, workplace and career pressures reshaping professional journalism.
