My deepest condolences to the Royal Family and the British people. Over 70 years, Queen Elizabeth was an enduring symbol of the continuity of British institutions and an example of dignity and commitment to duty.

We learned today that our dear friend and colleague Josh Kovner has died. A @hartfordcourant reporter for 24 years, Josh was a fierce journalist and dedicated teacher, the perennial voice of the voiceless and advocate of the underdog. Our hearts are with his family.

This week Tribune Publishing announced more buyouts, barely a year after the last round. Worse, CEO Tim Knight threatened that layoffs could be next.

We were surprised when Tribune Publishing CEO Tim Knight said there are currently 70 open, fully-budgeted positions in newsrooms across Tribune, including nine at the Courant.
We are not aware of nine open jobs. We implore the company to post and fill them immediately.

This step is great news and expedites contract negotiations, while recognizing the overwhelming will of our newsroom to take a seat at the table. Support has grown in the few days since we announced our union - more than 80 percent of our bargaining unit has signed union cards
