Abstract
Here the author explores the dynamics of workplace control in the provincial newspaper industry, and argues that direct input technology has led to structural changes that shift the locus of control from the printers (typesetters/compositors) to the journalists (sub‐editors) by increasing the latter group's influence over strategic contingencies in the production process.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
