Introduction: background, methodology and objectives of the survey

Part 1. General principle of home office and telework

  • General protection for teleworkers / home office and challenges for journalists

  • “I feel like I live at work”: the right to disconnect

  • Compulsory or voluntary?

Part 2. Main findings of the survey

  • Regulatory framework: a split situation

  • A majority of journalists (still) work outside of the newsroom

  • A clear lack of collective agreements at company-level

  • No money for journalists working from home

Part 3. Teleworkers’ protection and trade union organising: the future is hybrid!

  • Reaching out to members digitally: e-mails still the most common tool

  • Telework raises many questions from journalists to their union/association

  • An unclear future for journalists’ organisations
