A short video interview / reportage (4mins 40 secs duration) from yesterdays 'Day of Action' called by the NUJ , National Union of Journalists, against Northcliffe in Bristol.
The Video is viewable in 3 different formats: Quicktime (.mov), Real Media (.rm) and a web mpeg (.mpg). Viewing help below.

Despite Northcliffe making £100 Million profits and upping its
directors pay by 48%, they still want more and so have implemented
a neo-Labour sounding scheme called Aim Higher to make an
additional £25 million by cutting jobs and journalism. “The Mail
on Sunday called Andy Gilchrist, the fire union leader, a "fat cat"
for his £82,000 salary. The Mail on Sunday's editor-in-chief, Paul
Dacre, receives a basic yearly salary of £690,000. Who's fat?”
Wrote Paul Foot in the The Guardian – indeed!

It is of note that this attack on local media won’t good coverage
in the commercial press in Bristol – because the people with the
scissors own all the press! Sites like Bristol Indymedia are
needed more than ever to provide us with access to information –
the lifeblood of any democratic system.

You can protest the cuts by contacting the MD of Northcliffe,
Michael Pelosi – email  aimhigher@nng.co.uk
