“This is a lucid, informative and passionate defence of the central role that journalists continue to play in enriching democratic debate and a valuable addition to the literature on self-employment more broadly.”

“Research like Cohen’s is becoming more pressing as freelancing and other forms of precarious employment permeate the culture industry.”
— Media International Australia“By bringing Marx into her analysis, Cohen allows us to see freelance writing as both a site of struggle and a space of potential change.”
— Canadian Journal of Media Studies“Writers’ Rights is a stellar contribution to the political economy of communications. Holistic, historical, geographical, moral, critical, dialectical, and guided by praxis, it is a paragon of the political economy of communications approach and an expression of its continuing analytical and explanatory power.”
