Instead of luddite tendancies to cut back on progress, NUJ members should stand in front of the mirror and take a long, hard look at themselves. The savage media cutbacks are based on the fact that people don’t want to buy newspapers… and the responsibilty stands with journalists, most of who did not get their jobs because they were the most talented or hard-working people around but because they were born into the middle-classes and fancied an ‘enjoyable’ career writing. The poor standard of journalistic output over the last two decades and lack of innovative output by scribes has a lot to account for the plummeting circulations of the print press.

“Writing” is a miniscule part of journalism.
You don’t know what you are on about bro.
