Locked-Out Journalists Turn To Podcasting

An anonymous reader writes "An Interesting Canadian Press article is up on the Macleans website discussing locked out union journalists podcasting to stay on the air. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation locked out 5,500 unionized employees Aug. 15 over a contract dispute. Most of those walking the picket line are radio, TV and internet journalists and technicians. In the last few days, they've been cranking out podcasts - locked out folks in Fredericton, New Brunswick; Regina, Saskatchewan; Vancouver, British Columbia and other cities have all participated. Some have 'real news', music and interviews. Others are more propaganda-like. A whole batch of them are at www.cbcunplugged.com."

Some have 'real news', music and interviews. Others are more propaganda-like.

So basically it's no different than your normal CBC broadcast.

Good thing too, you don't want those un-ionized employees going about stealing everybody's ions.

I wonder where they were locked though... In a Faraday cage, maybe?
