The 24-7 news cycle and the pandemic have led to a burnout crisis in the media industry.
Newsrooms are offering on-demand access to therapy and mandating that staffers take vacation.
Burnout is particularly pronounced for journalists from underrepresented groups.
For many media organizations, the ideas that other industries have recently introduced to remedy burnout like a four-day workweek or offering the entire staff a paid week off might seem impossible to implement, given that the news cycle never switches off.
Erin Millar, the chief executive and founder of the Canadian digital publisher Discourse Media, did it anyway.
Sentiment analysis reveals consistently negative coverage of Brexit and EU in UK press
It’s almost five years since the UK voted to leave the EU in June 2016. Since then, hundreds of thousands of articles have been devoted to the UK’s withdrawal in British media outlets.
Press attention to Brexit has waxed and waned – peaking at certain key moments, research by Press Gazette has found.
Analysis of articles in 12 UK national news outlets and their Sunday editions (The Sun, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph, the Times, the Financial Times, the Independent, the Guardian / Observer, the Mirror, the Star, the Express, the Evening Standard and Metro) shows that coverage for example was notably high in the months immediately leading up to the 2016 national vote. Attention also rose again in March 2017 when Article 50, which began the UK’s withdrawal, was invoked. Similarly, the number of Brexit-related headlines rose again at the end of 2020 – the end of the transition period.
What does the arrival of GB News really mean for the UK? Samuel Fishwick ‘I like big challenges,’ says Andrew Neil, the Scottish broadcaster hired as GB News’s chairman and top presenter last September.
That’s lucky because there are plenty. Critics have been quick to slam the upstart TV station as a ‘British Fox News’, which is nonsense, says Neil. Yes, there will be sections entitled ‘Wokewatch’ and ‘Mediawatch’ but this won’t be ‘shouty, angry telly’. It will have to conform to Ofcom impartiality rules, for a start, having secured a licence to air in 96 per cent of UK homes on all major platforms: Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, YouView and Freesat. ‘I don’t think there’s a market for that kind of hard-right stuff in this country,’ he says, sitting in his home study at a vast desk beneath a glittering gallery of Spectator magazine covers (he has been chairman of its parent group, Press Holdings, since 2008).

With a broadcasting history that spans over seven decades, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has rightfully become the household word when it comes to informing, educating and entertaining the public, as well as shaping the thinking of Malaysians.
And, before the advent of digital and pay-TV operators, it was terrestrial free-to-air stations in the likes of RTM that enabled Malaysians to watch major local and international sporting events from the comfort of their living rooms.
Having won the trust of international media organisations, RTM often secured the right to be official broadcaster for prestigious events such as the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association meeting in 1996, the 1998 Commonwealth Games, 2002 Hockey World Cup, 2007 World Badminton Championship, 2017 SEA Games and the latest, 2021 All England Badminton Championships.
