Locked out journalists strike back

Journalists locked out of Canadian public broadcaster CBC are striking back by creating their own alternative media source. 5,500 employees have been locked out by the stating, after they rejected management plans to put more staff on temporary contracts. In response, they have launched CBC Unplugged, which gathers dispatches from picketlines and uses blogs to gather lockout-related news and music. The site also raises wider issues about casualisation in the media industry.

Thanks. Hadn't thought of the image file. I'll have to shrink that, it seems.
