Workshop Details
Worker-Centred Journalism
In this workshop, John Cameron and Meera Eragoda from Briarpatch Magazine will teach delegates how to zero in on the most interesting parts of a workers’ story, and how to give life to that story so that people will want to read it. Plus, they will talk about the need to support worker-centred journalism in Canada and how union activists can play a role.
