NEARLY all journalists on local papers in London were on 24-hour strike last Thursday in protest at the closure of the Camden Journal.

Many joined the mass picket of the paper's printworks in Nuneaton, in an effort to halt production of scab issues of the Islington Gazette and Hornsey Journal, which are part of the same group.

While some members of the print union NGA have refused to cross the picket line, waiting for word from the union leadership, which is a long time coming Camden Journal NUJ father of the chapel Howard Hannah says:

Their struggle over jobs and cuts is exactly the sume us ours.

This has been a feature of the weekly paper Save the Camden Journal, now selling almost 8,000 copies. A march against cuts to be held in Camden on Saturday 7 February is receiving wide support. It starts outside the town hall in Judd St at i0.30am.
