Nine reasons the mirror journalists do not like the goals of the page

The mirror journalists have expressed concern that the goals of the new page displaying journalists encourage the unprepared coverage with the brand values ​​of the address.

In particular, they cited wide coverage of the creator of the fans of Buni Blue, who claimed that he had sex with 1057 men in 12 hours.

The mirror published 13 stories about Bonnie Blue on January 17 and 18, including: “An annoying cause” 1057 men “who were lining up in the queue of sex with a curtain dressed in cuckolds” and “The real name of Bonnie Blue, the private school husband and the role of the mother in sex function” and “Bonnie Blue supports itself as the soccer team as an adult movie star on another world level.”

The British Association of Journalists, the recognized union of the mirror, sent a message to the Mirror Editor, Caroline Waterston, on behalf of 47 journalists for the title on January 20.

The message called for stopping the stopping of the individual goals of the page, pending new consultation and detailed concerns, including the following:

1. The goals of the page’s display do not reflect the nature and value of the work that have been implemented, as they particularly affect correspondents on the roads, for example, transplantation of contacts, long -term projects and work away from the office to the exclusive source.

2. The individual goals will encourage Clickbait as shown in the regional titles of Reach.

3. The objectives of the monthly page show arbitrarily, as they were appointed either 250,000, 500,000 or 1 million. What support is provided to meet these goals. If we meet them, does the goal rise?

4. What happens if we do not meet a monthly goal? Do we have a guarantee that our job is not in danger?

5. The targets are imposed despite the recognized defects on the Chartbeat scale and problems with correspondents who do not get lines. The goals do not reflect the nature and value of the work that have been implemented, especially for journalists on the road.

6. The goal means that every “click” is equal in the mirror brand.

7. Reporters work on ways to increase their numbers, but the goals put the accountability inappropriately on individual correspondents. Responsibility lies in how the story often increases the series – whether it is shared on the social meeting/placed on the home page/sent to the references such as Drudge And Apple News.

8. The goals also do not take into account the user experience of the site, which for years was a source of the reader’s complaints.

9. The mirror has always worked better when we work cooperatively. Individual goals undermine this. “

Press Gazette realizes that since sending the message, there have been a number of meetings between the mirror editor and employee groups to discuss concerns.

But one of the mirror journalists told Press Gazette, “Moral spirit on Earth.”

According to the latest classification of Al -Sahafa newspaper for the 50 largest news sites in the United Kingdom, the minutes of the UK fans, which spent with the mirror, decreased by 10.5 % year on an annual basis to 203 million in December. The sun’s rivalry is one place above the mirror in our participation table, but it decreased by 20 % larger on an annual basis to 287 million minutes a month.

“… … the morale has already drowned, faster and faster than that of any of us can remember, and these goals now raises serious concerns about the welfare of employees and mental health,” said a previous message sent to Waterston signed by about 40 mirror journalists.

“We fully understand the reason for the importance of the page display methods. We all want to write good stories online and already adopt digital changes on our roles, such as building stories in [content management system] cue. But the monthly goal cannot become the only or even basic scale for a mirror journalist.

“The goals of the page’s display are a scale for our value, the annoying quality press, long -term projects, the cultivation of communications and the leaving our offices to the exclusive stories source that gives our readers a reason to visit our website and buy our papers.”

“We have a great opportunity to make the mirror more successful and influential than ever and I will continue to hold open and honest conversations with the team to achieve this,” Watson said.

“Some of the truly productive and encouraging discussions have been conducted over the past few weeks, so the situation has continued positively since these messages.”
