This non-credit program will consider the issue of labor’s image in the mainstream media, the structure and function of the media in the United States, as well as, the roles of reporters, labor organizations, and local union leaders in making “news.” Participants will analyze reporting on labor issues, prepare and critique press releases, and develop a basic media campaign for a local labor issue.
