The day started with tidying up any left over work from the night before and preparing for what publications were due to the presses during the day. This could involved prioritising work and sometimes speaking to sales reps regarding any unforeseen problems with getting the work completed on time. The team work and camaraderie was excellent and everyone got along together in a productive way. The management were very understanding and met the needs when required. The hardest part is dealing with people that don't understand the process but enjoyable when you could put it into layman's terms, the most enjoyable was working with everyone else.

A declining company trying but failing to reinvent itself and transform. Limited capability to innovate, hanging onto 1980s/1990s business environment, model and ways of working. Outdated and poorly implemented technology. Shrinking revenue means less funding to upgrade technology and transform. Complex, manual processes. Not trust in company to securely and ethically manage personal data. Toxic culture driven by leaders who intimidate and bully staff.  Heavily weighted with many long term (i.e. 15+ years) staff hanging on for retirement, lacking ability to generate and apply new ideas nor ability to think differently.

There were some negatives along the way but for the most part it was a positive place to work with plenty of changes for advancement. Not always strong communication from management but that was replaced by good relationships with people you worked with, who were always communicative and encouraging. It was a fast-paced environment which often made it an exciting place to work. The hardest part of the job was the demanding hours, but I didn't really mind that too much. Mostly it was a decent place to work with constant changes keeping it interesting.

There will be days where you'll want to scream in frustration, then others when you've worked 12 hours straight on a story that has real meaning and you know you're making a difference. Those are the days that make everything worthwhile. You don't join media for the money or the hours, it's the incredible experience of being on the sidelines of history.

Produced an average of 100-120 digital ads, both everyday animated ads to Bespoke ads per week.
Up-skilled from print to digital environment-self taught.
Managed entire workflow in digital production.
One of the best work cultures in my career as a designer.
Hardest part of the job was to work through illnesses to keep with deadlines.
The people I worked with were the best part of my time with NewsCorp.

Calling current clientele daily to see how their advertising is tracking and to see how the industry (that they advertising in) is overall. Rebooking clients for X amount of weeks/months and also sourcing new potential clients who would be interested in advertising in print

Poorly trained and unprofessional management team. Toxic work environment...dog eat dog!  Unequal opportunities...jobs for mates and good promotions for friends of management - not by merit.  Incentives program was eroded over the years, did not reward high achievers sufficiently. 

Terrible workplace, as significantly underpaying employees, but highly demanding. 

A very poor culture of overworking staff. They have gone predominantly digital.

The systems and processes make going to work very hard. The management team don't know what is happening half the time, and the systems and processes do not work and make giving acceptable customer service near impossible.

Fast-past; High unattainable targets, and no work-life balance.
With the immersing digital market, print is shrinking and diminishing yet targets to attain were still there. 
One on one meetings, ad-hoc training, more meetings, and no time to sell.
