Visual Arts Source Publisher Talks HuffPo Strike in the Guardian

While Visual Arts Source editor Bill Lasarow’s call for a boycott of Huffington Post at the beginning of March may have been initially dismissed by Arianna Huffington, it has become a whole lot tougher to ignore now. Nearly a month later the boycott is still in effect, the 26,000 member Newspaper Guild has climbed aboard, and the strike is now generating international solidarity. Lasarow has taken his cause to the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper. His most recent piece for the paper discusses the recent revelation that AOL/HuffPo is figuring out a way to differentiate “bloggers” from “journalists” and pay them accordingly.
