Scope edit
Not sure if this is independently notable from strike action. Waiting to see a copy of Presstime's article and might merge if not significant. czar 06:51, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Czar I'm convinced this is a notable and complex topic in its own right. Many of the strike newspapers were created by journalists participating in the strike themselves, whether specific to their employers like Detroit Sunday Journal created during the Detroit newspaper strike of 1995–1997 or the case of Gardian reporters contributing to the British Worker and participating in 1926 United Kingdom General Strike as newspaper strikers themselves.[1] There's something meta about that, and rightfully so media/public commentary has picked up on that. The ambiguous meanings of the terms make it difficult to search for such sources. I am still searching for a more comprehensive review of strike newspapers in general.
- Here is another journal article that looks at the role of strike papers as a form of alternative journalism that newsworkers can use to pressure their employer.[2]
- I've also created Category:Special edition strike paper where a newspaper isn't primarily a strike paper, but has specific editions. That allows such information to be captured, without polluting Category:Strike paper.
- Another aside, I am surprised we don't have any categories or anything to track organs/newspapers controlled by trade unions. It's something that is likely available from Infoboxes tho, but in most cases they probably don't have their own Wikipedia articles. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 20:02, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Three different papers all called Strike Bulletins edit
- Strike Bulletin (has pictures), published by British trade unions for 1926 United Kingdom general strike.[1][2] Several others were published during this time, such as the
- Strike Bulletin, an IWW organ, focused on Illinois Central shopmen's strike of 1911.[3]
- Strike Bulletin, organ of the "40 hour movement" in Glasgow (Battle of George Square; 1919).[4]

@Thecondor, do you have citations for your recent additions? The reader should be able to verify in a scholarly source that these papers were strike papers. czar 13:50, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
