Media moan

IN Media Watch Briefs | 05/02/2018

Even as the pay scales laid down by the Majithia Wage Board  have affected the viability of several media outlets, leading to increased lay-offs and more contract employment, the National Alliance of Journalists and the Delhi Union of Journalists have demanded the constitution of another wage board in a statement today. It also appeals to members of parliament to ensure that the Working Journalists Act is made applicable to electronic media employees, and that they also are covered by the Wage Board. It expresses shock at the fact that the National Budget had nothing to offer working journalists.
