| Event Name: | The Wapping Strike |
| Description: | In 1980 Fleet Street was more than an address, it was the proverbial centre of Britains newspaper industry. Every national paper and major news agency had its head office either on the street or close by. Within ten years, there was not a newspaper office left on Fleet Street. The decade had seen the biggest upheaval in the newspaper industry since Victorian times. In this talk, Andy McSmith looks at the biggest and most dramatic event - the Wapping dispute between Rupert Murdochs company and the print union. |
