DESCRIPTION:Journalists, Journalism, Labor and New Media \nThousands of professional 
 journalists have faced layoffs throughout the United States. At the same 
 time there are only a handful of labor journalists left at major daily 
 papers in the United Sates.\n Journalists are being pressured to work for 
 free as bloggers and the campaign against  Ariana Huffington and Huff Post 
 was an example of a political campaign to highlight the plight of 
 journalists in the new media.\n At the same time, labor does not even have 
 a labor radio or TV channel that could broadcast 24 hours a day from the 
 picket line, and the life and death struggles that working people are 
 facing.\n This panel will also look at the attacks on journalists by 
 corporate America, the censoring of labor stories and the transformation of 
 the newspaper and news industry by the Internet. What does this mean for 
 the future of professional journalists and the relationship of organized 
 labor to the defense of journalists and journalism?\n Speakers:\nFrank
