I've been asked to clarify the nature of this blog. I'm Bernie Lunzer, Secretary Treasurer of The Newspaper Guild. This site is not meant to be an official site, nor is it just a site for union members. It is a site for anyone that cares about the future of news in North America.
I got a call from a high-up editor at a major newspaper chain who wanted to talk about "the future of news," although it became a discussion about the "future of news work." Everyone's concerned about where we're headed.
There is a real question about how much one person can and should do. Can you do the story, shoot the video, do the first edits and perhaps publish to the web too. If you can't, does that mean there is no place for you in the world of journalism.
And, after all this restructuring how many of us will be left?
