Worker Correspondents

This small pamphlet is a how-to guide for workers to contribute journalism to the labor and communist press -- an American reflection of the "RabKorr" (Workers Correspondence) movement in the USSR. "Worker correspondents differ from professional journalists in that they are part of the labor and revolutionary movement and fight actively in the struggles of which they write," Dunne remarks. He notes that journalism is a "class affair" upon which "the ruling class puts its stamp...just as it stamps every other form of social activity." In addition to the anti-labor attitudes of the bourgeois press, Dunne declares that the official trade union press, with "a few negligible exceptions" is in reality an aid to capitalism with its imitation of capitalist journalism and catering to "ignorant prejudices," including "warfare on the Communist Party."
