Hi everyone, I imagine that many of you are looking for or getting requests for videos about the West Virginia teachers strike. The Charleston Gazette-Mail made a pretty good 8-minute overview, which includes a summary by reporter Ryan Quinn, plus dozens of photos from the strike and a few videos of teachers speaking. You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gWFKyuHLLs Quinn's article, accompanying the video, is here: https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/education/a-look-back-at-the-wv-public-school-employees-strike/article_c0dcd2db-4017-5bcd-b433-6b3afb6c3d57.html The article and video both say part 1; part 2 will be released next Sunday, so stay tuned. If anyone else has other materials from the West Virginia strike you've found useful, please share! In solidarity, Dan DiMaggio Assistant Editor, Labor Notes <http://labornotes.org>, New York Office dan@labornotes.org Office: 718-284-4144 Cell: 617-599-3026 See you at the 2018 Labor Notes Conference <http://labornotes.org/2018>, April 6-8 in Chicago!

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/opinion/west-virginia-teacher-strike.html This was a good example of one aspect of story coverage — the labor history of the region, which seemed to be rediscovered by reporters as descendants of miners among the teachers made the generational connections clear.
