Newspaper Guild Calls For Boycott of Huffington Post 
-----------------------------------------------------



The Newspaper Guild is urging its 26,000 members to stop providing free
content to The Huffington Post website. The Guild said: "Working for
free does not benefit workers and undermines quality journalism." The
Huffington Post relies on a mix of paid professional journalists and
unpaid bloggers. The site's labor practices have come under increasing
scrutiny since its $315 million merger with AOL.
