On my news feed on the side of this page, I put the Honolulu Advertiser into the widget so that I can constantly be updated as to what is happening at the paper. What came up on the feed this week was that the bloggers that work at the Honolulu Advertisers went on strike.
This is the first-time ever blog strike. Reasons for the strike are that there are new changes that were put in their contract that were obviously unfavorable. The Honolulu Advertiser has had bloggers for two years already and this is the first use of blogs to really take a stance at the paper. I think it's interesting that the ceasing of blogging has such an influential power for a news organization that it can cause desired change. We will see what happens with this situation and when blogging will continue. For more information on the story you can read an article about it at Editor & Publisher.
