Knowledge Workers in the Information Society addresses the changing
nature of work, workers, and their organizations in the media,
information, and knowledge industries. These knowledge workers
include journalists, broadcasters, librarians, filmmakers and
animators, government workers, and employees in the
telecommunications and high tech sectors. Technological change has
become relentless. Corporate concentration has created new
pressures to rationalize work and eliminate stages in the labor
process. Globalization and advances in telecommunications have made
real the prospect that knowledge work will follow manufacturing
labor to parts of the world with low wages, poor working
conditions, and little unionization. McKercher and Mosco bring
together scholars from numerous disciplines to examine knowledge
workers from a genuinely global perspective.
