90.5 WESA / Oliver Morrison / Jan 2, 2025
“In [John Robinson Block]’s living room, [Steve Mellon, a photographer who’s been on strike for more than two years] said, he believed he was looking at a man who could make him that guy again. But Mellon’s head was spinning. He was surrounded by golden-framed paintings that looked like they could fill the walls of the city’s exclusive Duquesne Club. He was trying to listen to Block’s musings about the state of the media landscape, while also thinking about what he could say to help the strikers who he would see at their morning meeting the next day.” “My synapses were going, ‘What’s going on here? This is so bizarre,’” he said. “This was not on my bucket list. I did not count on this to happen.”
