One of the most essential things reporters do is cover policy and community safety — that requires access to police transmissions without barriers!

"Journalism is not terrorism, and covering violence is not the same thing as condoning it. Journalists document tragedy as it unfolds and shine a light on a dark world. Our job is to seek truth and report it, especially during a war."
The NewsGuild-CWA@newsguild9 Nov 2023
We strongly condemn the killing of journalists in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon and call on all parties to ensure the safety of journalists. We also condemn comments made by Benny Gantz, an Israeli government minister, who compared journalists to “terrorists” newsguild.org/statement-on-t…

The boss’s promises are temporary. Negotiated and ratified by the workers, a union contract is in writing. #1u

“Also, Nich is not annoyed at the union — after all, it was only a handful who participated in the stunt — and he can’t wait to have them all back at work soon.” nypost.com/2023/06/13/inside…

1/7 We stand in solidarity w/ @latguild on a fight we at @insiderunion are all too familiar with— blatant disregard for labor laws and the creation and distribution of quality journalism. Hope @meridak is smarter than @nichcarlson or @hblodget in not testing journalists’ resolve.

“Anyone who destroys a life is considered to have destroyed an entire world.” Our former opinion editor is an enduring stain on the Forward. Those who enabled her rise through our newspaper should condemn what they helped create.

I ride the subway a lot. Not a week goes by that a mentally ill person doesn't get on and terrorize the entire car—especially women, especially Asians. Usually the men just sit there and pretend it's not happening. It's a disgrace that working New Yorkers have to live like this.

There are no "economic headwinds" there are no "evolutions in the media industry" causing these layoffs. The blame is fully and always with these rich dudes in charge, making bad business decisions, and never facing any fucking consequences for them.

A strike isn’t extra-legal

@benshapiro27 Mar 2023
Replying to @benshapiro
This isn't a fight between democracy vs. authoritarianism. If anything, the Right is calling for more democracy and has an elected coalition, while the Left is using extra-legal measures like shutting down airports and highways to guarantee minority protections.

After 3 years of thriving with hybrid work, we cannot in good faith agree to a contract that would give @nytimes the unilateral right to call us into the office 5 days a week — the company’s current position. 865 @NYTimesGuild members delivered this petition to management today.
