Less than two months after Darius Anderson and Sonoma Media Investments sold The Press Democrat and its sister publications to Media News Group/hedge fund Alden Global Capital, our new owners have already started layoffs. Important 🧵

“Journalism is not a crime and Evan should be immediately freed,” says @newsguild President @gaufre
"We stand with Evan, his family, our family at the Wall Street Journal, & with journalists around the world calling for Evan’s immediate release.”#FreeEvan newsguild.org/one-year-after…

It’s been 1 week since 9 of us were laid off. 3 reporters remain on strike with us today. We’re determined to see this through and it’s made our message so much stronger knowing we’ve had your support.
If you can, please donate to our fund — even if it’s $1. Every bit helps. ✊
Happy Friday! We are all so very grateful for the support and solidarity from our community and all over the country. ✊
We’re in it to win it, so we’ve stretched our relief fund goal to keep our laid off workers in this fight.
Please give what you can: gofund.me/797c1fb8

Last year, @latimes laid off 80 employees, a significant number of whom are people of color.
Now, @latguild is warning an even bigger layoff is imminent.
I stand with journalists—who are critical to the preservation of our democracy—& urge the Times to put people over profits.
🦅THE L.A. TIMES GUILD IS WALKING OUT🦅
We are calling for a one-day walkout TOMORROW, Jan. 19, in protest of management's proposal to cut staff and multiple unfair labor practices.

Standing with @latguild as they walk out today over upcoming staff cuts.
Good journalism is more important now than ever. And that requires adequate staffing.
We need the LAT to continue keeping our communities well informed.
We can’t let journalism die in plain view.

Sonoma Coast. Last week we had a picnic, played spikeball and flew a kite on this beach.

I’m really disappointed. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is exactly the kind of lawless employer that @propublica should be investigating, not partnering with. Their journalists have been on strike for a year, and this is scabbing.
A new short documentary from ProPublica and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette follows patients and a doctor navigating the fallout of the massive recall of Philips breathing machines. propublica.org/article/phili…

Underestimate freelancers at your own peril.
Originally, ‘freelance’ referred to a medieval mercenary who would fight for whichever nation or person paid them the most.
Those tax forms must’ve been nuts to fill out.

Yesterday, I was laid off by @TexasTribune after nearly 9 years.
New leadership got rid of its longest-tenured reporters and said they’ll no longer cover the criminal justice beat.
No one on police, prisons, courts, the death penalty. In Texas.
Here’s some of what we’ll lose:

So proud of this work and our incredible members of the @RevealCIRGuild!
We're honored today at @Reveal to win FOUR national Edward R. Murrow Awards for investigations about forced labor, the Big Lie, the fall of Roe and war crimes. Revisit the winning shows with us. 🧵

This outrage should absolutely be a national story and a cause for journalistic solidarity. Shame these people … Police stage 'chilling' raid on Kansas newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones kansasreflector.com/2023/08/…

In absolute awe of the journalists at The Maui News, who have continued putting out the paper without interruption, informing their community as they also live through this disaster
I'm donating to their GoFundMe and I hope you will join gofund.me/99f49452

Reporter Diana Marcum was the best of us. I loved working with her. She was passionate, caring and when she spoke with you she was truly in your orbit. Her pen was mighty and her love for people and the written word even more so. Heartbreak. latimes.com/california/story…
