The same company that gutted the Everett Herald earlier this year & is now proposing journalists' pay be tied to ridiculous story quotas is also proposing substantial layoffs in Bend, roughly 30 days after taking over as new owners & false promises that there would be no layoffs.

Carpenter Media Group is at it again: Taking a newly purchased publication and pushing for cuts and reductions just weeks later. We and @CentraloregonNG look forward to bargaining with the company next week and fighting against proposed layoffs. opb.org/article/2024/12/05/c…

Carpenter Media proceeds with more layoffs, cost cutting at Oregon newspapers

Moves by the Mississippi-based newspaper chain suggest it's seeking to cut back its footprint in Oregon media as company leaders extol their commitment to local journalism.

And in a bad practice reminiscent of Carpenter trying to censor an Everett Herald article about layoffs this summer, a Bulletin article about the sale that included info about upcoming layoffs of mailroom employees has been replaced by a press release. kuow.org/stories/everett-her…

The company that recently bought Snohomish County’s largest newspaper, the Everett Herald, told its newsroom Wednesday that about half of them would be…

Carpenter Media, which bought Pamplin and promptly laid off Oregon journalists, is set to take over EO Media next month. Oregonians deserve better than this.

Ok, storytellers. Let's talk about the hardest story I have done in years: Anatomy of a Crash. It's about a high-speed chase in which four teens ran from police until the kids crashed. One teen died & another charged with murder. 3 people injured. Two cops punished 1/

Today, the Anchorage News Guild learned ADN owner Ryan Binkley has declined our request for voluntary recognition of our union. ADN management has also hired an attorney from Littler Mendelson, a notoriously anti-union law firm.

The attempted 1st-degree murder trial of Joel Berck Young started this week in Whatcom County Superior Court. Young is accused of shooting @whatcomsheriff deputies Ryan Rathbun & Jason Thompson in their faces w/birdshot 2.5 years ago while they responded to a neighborhood dispute

Young's defense attorneys are not disputing that he shot Rathbun & Thompson, but are instead arguing that Young did not act with intent and premeditation. Young's jury trial is expected to last a few weeks. You can read @BhamHerald's initial story here: bit.ly/4de1Iqk

Whatcom County man accused of shooting sheriff’s deputies on trial for attempted murder

The two sheriff’s deputies were shot in their faces after responding to a neighborhood dispute call in the Maple Falls area in mid-February 2022.

When I interviewed David Ford in 2018, he was in prison & had no teeth - but TDCJ wouldn't give him dentures. Then my story came out & they did. I promised him that when he got out I'd take him to lunch so he could use them. Last week, that finally happened.
