The findings from our New Beats pilot study completed in 2013 have been published in the journal Journalism Practice. The article, “Where do journalists go after newsroom job cuts?” is the first research article to be published from this five-year project. The pilot study surveyed the experiences during and after redundancy of journalists who were laid off during 2012, and the findings were based on 95 completed responses.
The New Beats team is currently analysing data from our subsequent 2014 survey, which attracted over 200 respondents.
