This survey of NZ journalists completed in late 2015 shows the impact of the rapid move to a digital news environment. Journalists are more educated, but working longer hours and feeling more pressure, both ethically and resource-wise, than they were only two years ago. Technological changes are felt acutely, particularly the use of social media and user-generated content. Journalists are concerned that advertising and commercial pressures are stronger, while overall standards are weakening. This study also shows, for the first time, that women are seriously disadvantaged in pay and promotion despite making up the majority of the workforce. Despite these challenges, overall job satisfaction remains at similar levels to previous surveys, and journalists’ own commitment to ethical standards and journalism’s Fourth Estate role remains strong.

特别报告：令人担忧的原因：2015 年新西兰新闻业的状况

这项于 2015 年底完成的新西兰记者调查显示了快速转向数字新闻环境的影响。记者受教育程度更高，但与两年前相比，他们的工作时间更长，在道德和资源方面的压力也更大。技术变革受到强烈影响，尤其是社交媒体和用户生成内容的使用。记者担心，广告和商业压力更大，而整体标准却在减弱。这项研究还首次表明，尽管女性占劳动力的大多数，但在薪酬和晋升方面仍处于严重劣势。尽管存在这些挑战，总体工作满意度仍与之前的调查相似，而且记者自己对道德标准和新闻业第四产业角色的承诺仍然很强。
