Journalists are committed to upholding First Amendment principles to serve the democratic process. That’s in direct contrast with a company like Palantir, whose cofounder, Peter Thiel, once said freedom and democracy were not compatible. newsguild.org/usa-today-jour…

They’re alarmed that the largest news chain would work with a firm responsible for advanced widespread surveillance and powering immigration crackdowns. It creates an inherent conflict of interest and fails journalists who have been assaulted while doing their jobs.

Some of you may know this by now but @thesouthern was sold Friday by Lee to Paxton. The new owners are firing all but 2 of us, including this writer, at the end of business on Nov. 24. So if anyone needs a sportswriter after the 24th, give me a look.

The @nytimes’s decision to replace our Sports section with nonunion employees sets a troubling precedent. More than 1,000 @NYTimesGuild, @WirecutterUnion + @NYTGuildTech members signed a petition demanding that Times management stop violating our contract and respect union work.

Well done Bob Odenkirk 👏🏼#SAGAFTRAstrike
We're excited to have Claude Cummings as the new @CWAUnion @newsguild president. We hope for great thinga during his tenure.
For those newspapers who were part of GateHouse before the merger with Gannett, we've not had confidence in Mike Reed as CEO for even longer.

Today at noon, I’ll be standing up with my colleagues and standing against the damaging cuts @Gannett has leveled on its own newspapers in the communities it is supposed to serve. We would love to have everyone join us in sending a message loud and clear. #GannettGreed

Today is a beautiful day for solidarity. 🪧✊

We, the members of the Sarasota Newspaper Guild, representing the @heraldtribune newsroom, stand with our striking Gannett union siblings today. 👇

In the last six months, Gannett has laid off or bought out almost every journalist at the St. Cloud Times, a newspaper covering a metro area of 200,000. In May, there were 9 employees — by January, only one reporter was left.
Now, there are 0. My story: axios.com/local/twin-cities/…

U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.
