My respect for journalists came to a whole new level during the BLM uprisings. @chreyesrios and others were in the trenches with us. Even with tear gas in the air, there was a notepad in their hands to document our collective experiences. Thank you @OS_Guild.

I had to quit working for a paper I loved because I couldn't afford to cover the city I lived in. After 5 years of no contract, it seems pretty clear that Alden doesn't see the value of its own journalists, or refuses to.

The Orlando Sentinel workers are on strike today, any support you can give to save local journalism is greatly appreciated.
You can show solidarity by:
Respecting our picket line and avoid interacting with any Tribune content during our walkout.

The latest @Scott_Maxwell column talks about how most Sentinel journalists haven’t gotten a raise in years, even as the paper posts healthy profits “..those profits are why hedge funds target newspapers, because there’s money to mine
They deserve better.” orlandosentinel.com/2024/02/…

Please support our @orlandosentinel colleague @OS_ChrisHays, who has been in and out of the hospital as he awaits a second liver transplant.
His sister has set up this GoFundMe for donations: gofund.me/96f15276
Thank you 🙏

Hi Twitter friends, I am back in the hospital dealing with my liver disease and still hopeful for a transplant.
Any donations to the cause will be helpful and if you’ve already donated, you are so much appreciated. Just follow the link.

We're on strike for the health of ourselves, our families, our union siblings and the Pittsburgh community we strive to serve.

Hello world, Gannett’s Midwest Digital Optimization Team (DOT) is unionizing! We’re here to fight for the future of journalism, our work and each other.

The newsroom workers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh, voted on Monday to authorize an unfair labor practice strike against the company.
Sentinel Guild 🍊 retweeted
McClatchy’s go-to is to refuse all suggested improvements to employee conditions.
We’ve had enough.
As dedicated journalists, many of us are used to working through lunch, or skipping altogether. To show our dedication to better working conditions, that hour now belongs to us.
Sentinel Guild 🍊 retweeted
One example: McClatchy’s minimum salary for the Star-T is $45,000. Our bargaining team researched the current cost of housing, utilities and other necessities in Fort Worth, and proposed a minimum salary of $57,500.
The company’s repeated response? No movement from $45,000.
Sentinel Guild 🍊 retweeted
For nearly two years, the Fort Worth NewsGuild has fought for a fair contract against an uncompromising company.
In protest of McClatchy’s unwillingness to grant fair conditions, we will take one hour away from work — and will do so every day until we receive a fair contract.

As @orlandosentinel continues to cover Ian's aftermath, please consider contributing to help @afullerreporter, whose apartment flooded during the storm: gofundme.com/f/hurricane-ian…
Austin's story was one of several featured in this excellent @Scott_Maxwell column:
Today's newsrooms are smaller than decades ago.
But the journalists who fill them are every bit as persistent.
A look at why those who are still here stayed - and how they delivered the news during the hurricane.
I'm proud to remain an ink-stained wretch.
