Why did so many working-class Americans desert the traditional news media in the 1990s in favor of Fox News, talk radio and Christian broadcasting? It's a complicated question, but Christopher Martin thinks he knows why. Heartland Labor Forum host Judy Ancel talks about media coverage of labor with Martin, author of  No Longer Newsworthy: How the Mainstream Media Abandoned the Working Class.

Plus Florence Reece and Rebel Diaz ask Which Side Are You On? and this week’s Labor History in 2.

Labor History Today is produced by the Metro Washington Council’s Union City Radio and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University.
