Australian Journalists Strike Over Pay Dispute on Eve of Paris Olympics

Nine Entertainment's editorial staff demand better wages, workplace diversity, and AI safeguards, impacting Olympic coverage.

Journalists from major Australian newspapers have commenced a five-day strike after rejecting a pay increase offer.
The industrial action affects coverage of the Paris Olympics, though TV broadcasts remain unaffected.
Union demands include pay rises in line with inflation, commitment to diversity, and protections against AI misuse.
Nine Entertainment plans to cut 200 jobs amid declining advertising revenues, adding to staff grievances.
Despite the strike, Nine Entertainment assures that newspaper production and Olympic coverage will continue.
