Let's Organise: A Union Handbook for Journalists
'Let’s Organise - A union handbook for journalists' has been produced as a handbook to assist journalists’ unions around the world. The handbook was published in 2005.
It is a basic text that can be used as an introduction to trade union organisation for journalists.
Its target audience includes:
• members and potential members
• union leaders
• trade union educators.
The handbook contends that the quality of working conditions enjoyed by journalists is a key factor in creating a democratic media culture. Without social justice and fairness at work, it is impossible to talk of editorial independence or press freedom.
The information set out in the handbook fills a specific gap in basic training tools for new unions and aspiring union leaders struggling to establish themselves as a genuine force for improving the working conditions of journalists.
