A public meeting “Crisis in Midlands Journalism” is being held on Thursday, December 8, from 6.30pm-9.30pm, Committee Rooms, Birmingham Council House, Victoria Square

Discussing the horse that bolted a few years back, presumably. Not meaning to be unpleasant about it, but it’s not as if the writing hasn’t been on the wall for long enough. Waiting for another 50 jobs to go before the ‘crisis’ is addressed doesn’t quite seem adequate.

Via both Roy Greenslade and the NUJ.

UPDATE

There’s a Hacks/Hackers Birmingham meet-up the following Thursday (15 Dec). It’s a regular event bringing together journalists, developers and others who are looking for new/better/different ways to find and tell stories.
