“It makes me sad for Floyd County because I would rather be there providing journalism. They went from one editorial staffer to no one covering the county.” @PostGuild @WBNG32035 @SaveOurSun @baltsunguild washingtonian.com/2020/10/15…

“When you lose a newspaper in a community, what you're losing is the person who shows up at the local school board meeting, at the county commission meeting, at the planning board meeting… We depend on them to highlight the important issues.” -- @Businessofnews

Many Americans have little or no access to local news. And it's getting worse.
*45%* of newsroom jobs were cut from 2008-2017, and COVID-19 ravages them further. Here's how threats to local journalism are harming your community — and how you can help #SaveTheNews.

Thank you, @GregDool, for writing about the problem of newsroom-less news organizations. It’s bad for our journalists, bad for our readers and bad for our communities.
I continue to fight against this with @baltsunguild, @ChesapeakeGuild, @SaveOurSun and our sister unions.

JUST RELEASED: a damning report on Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that controls more than 70% of MediaNews Group (e.g., @denverpost, @mercnews, & @bostonherald). Alden has gained notoriety for prioritizing profit over purpose in community papers. hedgeclippers.org/fear-the-v…

We are so proud of @ChesapeakeGuild for publicly denouncing these disturbing cost-cutting tactics at Monday's Labor Day protest, even and especially in the face of being locked out of their newsroom and the trauma associated with the experience of losing yet another newsroom.

“Wall Street hedge funds have no place in Lehigh Valley newsrooms, and management’s recent decision to vacate the paper’s physical office building after 100 years is especially concerning,” PA @SenBobCasey says in statement of support for @mcallguild and local news in LV.

This is what Tribune can't take away. So proud to see my Capital colleagues standing up to Tribune's decision to close their physical office. News deserves to stay local. Savemarylandnewspapers.org

Remember when I told you @tribpub didn't pay its rent?⬇️
Now we're told that the company is permanently shutting down our @capgaznews office in Annapolis and our @CCTNews office in Westminster.
.@tribpub (parent of @baltimoresun) has new financial statements. A lot of it is beyond my grasp, but this I get: The company didn't pay rent on most of its properties in April, May & June and some landlords are taking the company to court.
