• The network seeks to promote the exchange of information and collaborative work among its members and to stimulate the production of quality journalistic material on labor issues. To this end, regular newsletters and informative guides on contemporary issues, online training, scholarships and other support for reporting that addresses the world of work from different perspectives will be offered.
