All-rights aren't all right
The new campaign by the National Writers Union (Local 1981 of the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, of which I am an active member) against all-rights contracts at the media conglomerate AOL Time Warner is barely getting under way, but it's already getting press abroad and online. The British site dotJournalism featured a news item about it May 2, and then on May 5, USC Annenberg's onlinejournalism.com featured it on the journalism school's blog. So far, no part of AOL Time Warner's vast media empire has reported the story. Meanwhile, the media conglomerates just keep on growing in size and shrinking in numbers.
