Campaigner calls for end to unpaid work in the media: Last week a Canadian newspaper called for journalism students to do the work of its reporters in the event of industrial action.
Meanwhile in the UK, freelance campaigner Mark Watson entered the next phase in his campaign to end such practices, in particular employing journalists on an unpaid basis under the guise of work experience.
Watson, whose own background is in television work, last week submitted his proposals to the Low Pay Commission, which will release a report on working conditions in the media next year.
