> The Philadelphia Inquirer made the interesting point that a number of “new media” outlets have recently started to unionize, and it happens that the skills needed to build public support for a union dovetail nicely with the skills needed to build a following for one’s reporting on social media. “A campaign like this wouldn’t be effective without the kinds of employees who are adept at building and engaging a digital audience,”
