Labor Journalism, Journalists and The Internet
http://labortech.net LaborTech 2012 Conference at The University of San Francisco

Journalists and writers face an attack on their conditions and lives. The Internet is now being used as a tool to make workers temporary and part time throughout the media industry and use the internet for free labor and interns without pay. At the same time labor and our unions are fighting to get coverage of our stories and break the media blockade by the corporations and their media monopolies.

This panel will look at the attack on media workers, how their unions are grappling with these issues and how labor should be covered both by the labor press and in the struggle to get our labor stories out.
