AFTRA is your home for new media

It’s being called “digital media,” “new media,” “rich media,” and more, but for AFTRA members it’s a whole new medium in which to work and create.

Just as AFTRA members brought union standards to radio in the 1930s, to sound recordings and television in the 1950s, and to interactive media in the 1980s, AFTRA is moving to make sure that work in the new digital media is covered under AFTRA contracts.
