Riders or delivery messengers are currently a symbol of job insecurity. However, companies in the so-called gig or platform economy continue to present themselves as modern ones, technologically adapted to the new scheme that defines the twenty-first century. The article analyses, from the perspective of framing and journalistic routines, the media coverage (press) of the main delivery companies in Spain: Glovo and Deliveroo. Using a longitudinal sample of 764 pieces of news drawn from the six most important Spanish newspapers from January 2015 to December 2021, we explore the conditions under which this information is prepared and how this determines the frames of their narrative. This article exposes the principal media frames used in the news treatment of the rider phenomena and analyses its causes, focusing on structural elements in the journalistic routines from a materialist perspective. In short, this article focuses on an analysis of the collision of frames as a continuation of the capital/labour struggle in the media sphere.

In this short article, housing campaigner David Utley-Williams looks at the class dynamics that underpin estate demolition. Drawing on his own personal experience and looking at the broader sociopolitical context, he examines how estate demolition is a policy failure that inflicts huge damage on London’s working-class communities.

This introduction to the second issue situates the journal within a diverse and multidisciplinary environment insisting on the necessity of returning to the concept and application of ‘grand narratives’. It argues for research strategies that are politically engaged and committed to collaboration with other disciplines both within and outside of academia. Referring to the eclectic nature of the articles, this editorial insists on the crucial importance of theoretical knowledge in developing the possibility of building counter hegemonic modes of enquiry and knowledge. Within this frame it considers how through the exchange of intellectual ideas it becomes possible to develop the skills and competencies that make possible both the interpretation and comprehension of the complexities and contradictions of working-class life within a globalized neo-liberal labour market. Utilizing Gramsci’s conception of hegemony it anchors the articles in this issue within a framework that challenges hegemonic ways of thinking and uncritical modes of thought.

This short article draws on the personal experiences of a working-class activist involved in the campaign to save the local libraries in the area in which she was born and grew up. It explores the difficulties involved in being a working-class activist in what are predominantly middle-class political spaces dominated by those who do not have grass root connections to the community. It considers the gulf between middle-class approaches to, and understandings of, activism when compared to those of working-class people. In doing so it draws a distinction between activists who are from the communities where the work takes place and who need and use the services under threat and those who support the fight to save the libraries but consider the people who live in the community as ‘deprived‘. The author questions whether it is possible to reconcile the two in a way that can promote social justice and reduce oppression.

Access to the theatre industry is often frustrated through lack of experience. Many theatre companies have a stated aim to widen participation in order to fully represent the communities and society that they work in. This study assesses how opening up access to the rehearsal room can embolden and accelerate change as well as encourage a multiplicity of routinely marginalized voices to speak and be heard. It seeks to ask whether opening access to the rehearsal room has benefits for participants, companies and the industry at large. In this context, opening the rehearsal room means to facilitate observation access for those not directly involved in the production. After a nascent, small-scale version of the observation offer, a questionnaire was circulated to those who were invited and/or actively participated in the observation offer with conclusions drawn from responses and other related contextualizing literature. The results suggest that the offer can help to increase participation, with suggestions as to how it can be fine-tuned in further, future iterations.

Working-class academics (WCAs) represent a powerful example of widening participation policies, although their struggles (and achievements) are often overlooked once they enter the academy. Drawing on extensive qualitative interview data with WCAs, the largest study conducted, to date, in the United Kingdom, and informed by the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Tara Yosso, this article outlines four main class markers that were inherent in the WCA identity of these respondents: a lack of a safety net to ‘manage’ academic precarity; an uneven access to capital; a complex habitus; ‘utilising lived experience’. This article ends with a consideration of how we can move forward in our approach to studying working-class cohorts and offers three key recommendations for further research.
