Journalists who have lost their jobs in the UK in the past five years still have an enduring love and passion for the industry, despite struggling to find new work and fears over money, according to new research conducted by Journalism.co.uk and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
The report ‘Laid Off: What Do UK Journalists Do Next?’ was conducted between November 2009 and January 2010 and asked 144 respondents from across the industry about their experiences of redundancy and unemployment.
