Internet threatens online journalists' health

An interview in Media Buddies with Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the NUJ, quotes him as saying the Web has created new opportunities in journalism but "the problem still remains that no-one knows how to make it pay".

He said the net has helped create hundreds of jobs. "However, all too many of these are poorly paid.... with many new media journalists working excessively long hours".

He said: "It still has to remember the cardinal rules of accuracy and professionalism, but it is a media whose time is yet to come". µ
