In the field of radio, organization has made very little progress. It seems surprising to learn that there has been almost no effort made to organize station announcers. According to the author, the work is underpaid and the job is one of long hours and terrific nervous strain. Many of these men work on the side for news reels or become an integral part of some commercial broadcast or another. A radio guild should not be limited to the men who work directly for the chains or individual stations. Eligibility should be extended to any unorganized folk who talk or play or sing into the microphone. The author says that radio is less free than it pretends to be. It is just as dependent on advertising revenue as are the newspapers.
