With the support of Bertha Foundation, The Real News Network (TRNN) is launching a new reporting platform for global coverage of worker-led fights for freedom, equality, justice, fairness, and dignity. Building on TRNN’s existing coverage of labor and social movements, “Workers of the World” will be a multimedia vertical for international feature journalism telling the stories of workers building collective power and redefining the future of work on their own terms. In collaboration with a network of international contributors, “Workers of the World” will produce multiplatform labor journalism that follows struggles for economic justice across borders. For John Duda, TRNN Executive Director, this is a particularly strategic moment to invest in covering an international labor beat: “At this historical moment, labor activism is the most dynamic and promising social movement sector in the United States. Let’s get to work.”An initial grant from Bertha Foundation will allow “Workers of the World” to launch in late spring 2022 as a year-long pilot program that creates and connects a powerful international network of labor journalists.
