I don't understand getting rid of the photographers and photo editors. It makes no sense to me.

Why pay people to send take photos when everyone has a smart phone? I'm not kidding in the least. TV stations and newspapers here rely heavily on images submitted by the public. If Murdoch's going to take NatGeo in a tabloid direction with lots of short, 15 facts/15 pictures type articles, then why pay people to take images for you when the public will provide you with content for gently caress all.

Investigative journalism is dead and photojournalism is about to follow.

They received an absurd amount of vacation days (25 a year or something) and that will be cut to something more normal

25 days is not an "absurd amount", it's what any salaried worker in the UK gets, including all the ones who work for Rupert Murdoch. The absurd thing is Americans putting up with 14-if-we-let-you-take-it-but-if-you-do-we-might-fire-you.

The only way to start the Nat Geo channel was to get funding and connections IIRC. They shopped the channel around to all the big names like NBC Universal, Turner and such but no takers because it would put them in direct competition with Discovery Communications and nobody felt that it was a safe bet. Murdoch was the only one that said yes.

Do goons need to be reminded that NewsCorp funded all the new Cosmos Episodes?

Like really you're making GBS threads biscuits for no reason. Especially since the biggest complaint that Goons had about the series was that it portrayed the Roman Catholic Church in a bad light because the show made it seem they burned a science man because he did science and not because he was crazy. Then goons agonzied over how r/atheism was championing this man after the episode was over.

The entire reason why newsCorp owns so much poo poo is because they just leave poo poo alone and don't gently caress with the original recipe because that's what made people pay money in the first place. I mean good lord it's been 26 years of the Simpsons.

RIP Nat Geo, your pictures were awesome.

So it will finally be worth reading?
