In the last dozen years, there has been a resurgence of the labor beat.  

As Steve Greenhouse — the longtime labor reporter for The New York Times — wrote in his latest piece for Nieman Reports, labor stories are now many of the nation’s biggest news stories and it seems likely that labor coverage will remain strong and perhaps even grow. 

Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 1pm ET for a Twitter Spaces discussion on how more newsrooms are making workplace safety, unionization, and remote work front-page stories. Moderated by Nieman Reports senior editor Laura Colarusso, hear from labor reporters on the state of the beat today.
