Abstract
By analyzing articles in Screen Actor, Variety, Fan Magazines, and Newspapers, I investigate how the 1960 Screen Actors Guild strike was communicated to various audiences. These include industry audiences (actors, producers, and others with direct stakes in the well-being of the industry) and public audiences (the consuming public). Using Marxist analysis, this essay argues that the majority of publications covering the strike were inclined towards unfavorable portrayals of the Guild and the Strike.
