Labor Day Special: Working News; FSRN from the Ground
Up
As we mark Labor Day, we at FSRN have a special documentary
presentation today "Working News; FSRN from the Ground
Up", inviting listeners inside the worker-run collective
of Free Speech Radio News. Over the past 3 years, as the news
media has continued to consolidate under a few major corporate
interests, independent newsmakers from around the US and many
corners of the world have come together to form the newscast
you listen to every evening. Today we will take you inside
FSRN, bringing you the history of how we came to exist, how
the worker-run collective manages itself, how news editorial
decisions are made and how our many reporters do what they
do.
"Working News; FSRN from the Ground Up" was produced
by Jackson Allers, Kata Mester, Simba Russeau & Pauline
Bartolone at Pacifica station WBAI in NY and KPFA in Berkeley.
Co-producer was Vanessa Tait.
Music selections by Amina, Public Enemy, Nobody, Free Radicals,
Pharoah Sanders, Mos Def, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Bob Marley,
Nina Simone, John Coltrane, David Axelrod and Fela Anikulapo

Speech Radio News. You can email us at prac@fsrn.org. Our
