Exclusive: K24 Hiring Barely A Week After Dismissing 70+ Journalists
sIt all now seems like a soap opera as just about a week after Mediamax Network unceremoniously sent packing at least 70 journalists (some of whom had been poached from other media houses) drawn from its broadcast wing, information reaching our news desk indicates that K24 is currently hiring new workers!
According to a reliable source who sought anonymity, Mediamax is currently conducting interviews with a view to fill the positions vacated last Friday. However, what still lingers in most pundits’ minds is why the station is hiring new journalists when in the first place the management cited low incomes from their revenue streams which could not sustain the fired journalists’ high wage bill.
The past week has been a tough one for scribes whose job securities have been in jeopardy considering a total of 100 journalists have been axed from their jobs.
Meanwhile, on Waiyaki Way, 27 Kiss TV journalists are headed home after being fired!
