MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 19, 1933: Nazis arrested Jewish antifascist photographer Gerda Taro and interrogated her about a supposed communist plot to overthrow Hitler. She had previously been arrested for distributing anti-fascist literature. The Nazis eventually let her go and she fled to France, and then Yugoslavia. She died at the age of 26, photo-documenting the Spanish Republican war against Franco and the fascists. Some said that she was responsible, along with Robert Capa, of inventing the genre of war photography. Capa was actually the nom de guerre of Taro’s lover, Endre Friedmann, a Hungarian Jew who taught her the art of photography and who later went on to found Magnum Photos, along with French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. “Capa” was Friedmann’s street name, back in Hungary. It meant “shark.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/worldwartwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldwartwo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hitler</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>holocaust</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photojournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photojournalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gerdataro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gerdataro</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/robertcapa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>robertcapa</span></a></p>

Flipboard<p>Mass layoffs have begun at Voice of America (VOA), the U.S.'s government-funded media network.

Mixter Kit O'Connell<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GonzoNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GonzoNotes</span></a>: As we slide into Spring, I find myself at a bit of a turning point. I’ve been out of work and freelancing for just over a year now, without luck at finding a permanent position to replace the Texas Observer. Unemployment just ran out. So it’s time for me to take stock of myself, and the industry.</p><p>Over the past year, I’ve found success as a freelance reporter, and grown my readership on sites like Bluesky. At the same time, my job search has been fruitless; the closest I got to being hired over the past year was at an environmental nonprofit, not at a press publication. Despite all my accomplishments, I’ve averaged less than one job interview a month. Unemployment helped me make ends meet between assignments, but it also forced me to spend time applying for jobs I didn’t actually want.</p><p>I still hope that someday I’ll find a home at another publication that values queer, opinionated voices like mine. However, I’m starting to feel like that role might not exist right now. In the meantime, there are still stories I need to tell. </p><p>Read more in my <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newsletter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newsletter</span></a>: <a href="https://kitoconnell.com/gonzo-notes-whats-up-kit-march-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kitoconnell.com/gonzo-notes-wh</span><span class="invisible">ats-up-kit-march-2025/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a></p>
