Don't cross the virtual picket line at Nine Publishing.

From 11am AEST on Friday, July 26 until 11am AEST on Wednesday, July 31, we will join the virtual picket line in support of the #MEAAmedia members at Nine Publishing on strike.

That means we will not share or click on any articles from Nine mastheads, Sydney MorningHerald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times and WA Today, and won’t buy the papers.

Technically I've been on boycott then for the past few years lol

Anything we can do beyond spreading the news? I don't click, share, buy or even steal their content.

Here's their request from the MEAA's Facebook page:

Journalists at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Financial Review, Brisbane Times & WAtoday.com.au are now on strike until 11am Wednesday. Freelancers are standing shoulder to shoulder with them. Here's how you can support them:

  1. Sign and share this petition: http://meaa.io/3SoUHem
  2. Post a message of support to social media using the hashtag #DontTorchJournalism
  3. From 11am AEST on Friday, July 26 until 11am AEST on Wednesday, July 31, don’t cross the virtual picket line. That means do not click on any articles from Nine mastheads and don’t buy the papers.
  4. Donate to support the more vulnerable, insecure workers who are giving up their pay while on strike: https://meaa.io/3zYyjCo
