Covering Labor from the Edge

Description

The corporate/commercial media and the labor media are both defined entities that cover labor from established perspectives. On the other hand, there are media organizations that fall in between these two entities and are neither corporate/commercial or union run. Representatives of some of these organizations will discuss the special problems in covering labor from a more independent perspective.
