On the one hand, it seems odd that the job of being a writer, a very white collar job to be sure, is unionizing in newsrooms, magazine offices and digital media companies around the country. After all, aren't unions supposed to be those blue collar, feather nesting, corporate choking, corrupt organizations that keep our industries from innovating?Well, no. Not always or even often. But that is the story that's been out in the popular media for quite some time and as news consumers, many of us seem to have accepted it.Over the past twenty years, media corporations have been bought and sold. Merged, conglomerated, larded up with debt and spun off to spectacularly crash and burn. Employees have been shedded and benefits have been shredded. Digital startups have been treated like high sugared cereals until the angel investors have have eaten enough and then crashed to earth to the delight of the bored fan boys on Twitter.So if you're a journalist and have experienced all of that, maybe you've had enough. Maybe you've decided that you want someone in your corner who's got your back.This week's news isn't all that "newsy" but it follows a trend I've been watching with great interest. Journalists want a seat at the table. Good. Freelancers want to be treated with respect. Good. Investors want to see some returns and some actual business plans that make sense. Good.Speaking of fan boys on Twitter: Elon Musk teased us by trying to make us think he could make Twitter better. What a waste of time in news gathering and opinion making. If you want to make Twitter better, the solution is very simple. Ignore political Twitter. And while Tesla, Space X and Grimes are kinda cool, we can ignore Elon.
