Gen
X in the Newsroom: Expectations, attitudes don't fit traditional
culture
Generation
X (and the front end of Gen Y) are quite different from their Baby
Boomer bosses and are not a good fit in the newsroom as we know
it. These folks don't want to work long and irregular hours, they
want to be well paid and expect to get help with advancement. They
are part of a job-hopping generation and so their needs will have
to be taken seriously because there is a shortage of good replacements
coming behind them. Newsrooms will need to make some changes to
accommodate them.
