“Our two priorities involved fairer pay and AI protections and, thanks to the unions that came before us and fought for those same principles, we were able to reach an agreement in record time,” said reporter Josh Moyer.

🚨Journalists at the Daily Herald in Illinois are unionizing after experiencing eight rounds of buyouts and layoffs over the past 10 years, culminating with the dismissal of 12 workers earlier this month. Give them a follow at @dhnewsguild.

Thank you to all of the treasured colleagues we are losing today. It won't be the same without all of you. You were the heart and soul of the Sun-Times.

"That’s journalism, especially at the Sun-Times. Never enough time, never enough space, never enough people."

Special thanks to my longtime Sun-Times colleague Rich Roeper for his excellent, prolific work — and most of all his loyalty to the Sun-Times and huge role in fortifying our brand, which has been a key source of our survival. Big loss for the paper, but kudos on a job well done.
After more than 37 years at the Chicago Sun-Times, I have decided to accept a buyout. My last day will be this Friday. It's been a great privilege--but I am moving forward. I have no intention of stopping or even slowing down. Cheers.

A 45-year career in sportswriting in two pictures — from the Chiefs-Colts on Sept. 2, 1979 at Arrowhead Stadium to the Bears-Packers on Jan. 5, 2025 at Lambeau Field. I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Since 1967, the Chicago Sun-Times has had two lead film critics: Roger Ebert and yours truly. There was no pressure in succeeding Roger, because there was zero chance I could match his knowledge, talent and passion. But I AM proud of the effort I put in to honor his legacy.

Thirty employees of the Chicago Sun-Times — around one in five on its payroll — have agreed to resign under buyout terms the paper’s nonprofit ownership offered in hopes of stanching persistent financial deficits.

The talent, experience and institutional knowledge the Sun-Times is losing is devastating.
Chicago is worse for it.
Thirty employees of the Chicago Sun-Times — around one in five on its payroll — have agreed to resign after a buyout offer.
The departures primarily affect writers and editors, many of whom have extensive experience at the newspaper.

I'm taking a buyout at the Sun-Times. After 38 years at the paper, my last day will be Friday. Thanks to everyone — colleagues, competitors, editors ... especially Sun-Times readers — who made it such a great ride. I leave w/ gratitude, great memories & a lot of gas in the tank.

I have had more than 16,000 bylines in the Sun-Times. More than 10,000 of those pieces were reviews. Proud of what I accomplished there, as an editorial assistant, a news reporter, a columnist and a critic.

since we’re putting our #MugsUpForPublicMedia: a reminder that the folks at the Sun-Times (me included!) could be notified of layoffs tomorrow.
to #ProtectPublicMedia, we need more journalists — not less! that’s why @CSTGuild is calling on the CPM board to find non-labor cuts.
