Journalists' collective representation and editorial content in British newspapers- never the twain shall meet?

Abstract

This article examines the propensity for journalists to contest the determination of the editorial content of the newspapers they work for and write for. It finds that such instances are relatively infrequent and suggests that not only is stronger workplace union organisation required to provide for the capability for journalists to do so but that a heightened level of trade union consciousness and abnormal occurrences in management practice are also required.
