Juan Gonzalez addresses the challenge of being a radical journalist at a conservative paper, the New York Daily News. He argues that journalists are in a position to control reality, and must recognize themselves as media workers with a special strategic location in the U.S. workplace. He references excessive coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial in opposition to media silence regarding a New York City super-intendants strike involving 35,000 workers.
