ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews some of the key roles in newspaper journalism, and how they are continuing to change and develop in the time of radical restructuring. The journalists at work survey of 2012, funded by the national council for the training of journalists (NCTJ), puts the number of journalists working in the UK. Johnston Press is one of a number of companies that no longer has a role of editor at several of its weekly newspapers. When James Harding was removed from the editorship of The Times in 2012, press Gazette noted he was the sixth national editor to lose his job in 16 months. He would go on to become the head of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) news the first newspaperman to hold that job. Many newspaper publishers include in their commissioning terms the right to store and display material on electronic databases and to authorize others to do the same.
