Day to day, they are more involved in a range of worker concerns and politics than a broad range of groups, yet they get remarkably little ink. This is actually in deep contrast to the past when, whether positive or negative, union news was heavily covered-- in 1937, admittedly a highwater mark, 15% of all column space in the New York Times involved union news. William Greider in his WHO WILL TELL AMERICA? attributes the change to the professionalization of journalism, with the attendant class character change in reporters from identifying with other workers to identifying (even if critically) with the elite.
