What happened in Kansas to my old journalism professor Eric Meyer and the Marion County Record — a newspaper he’s kept from the grasp of corporate vultures for decades — is 100% wrong and an attack on the free press in America. Media at Illinois IlliniJournalism Leon Dash #Illini

The journalists of the Suburban Chicago Tribune Guild have brought the news to the communities we serve day in and day out. We are there for our readers, always. But Tribune Publishing isn’t there for us.

Our bargaining team is in person in Chicago on Thursday and Friday of this week ready to finish this contract and improve conditions for journalists across the country. Is Alden?

Just three people covering Aurora. One covering Naperville. None in Elgin. None in Arlington Heights. We have to make constant choices every day about what to cover because we just can't catch it all. Important stories are going untold.

From the past couple hours. Here is but a sample of the hell our union Chicago Tribune Guild is prepared to raise should our company cut our 401K match and send a signal that our hard work to uncover injustice in Chicago is not valued.

“I want them back,” said the father, his voice cracking with emotion. Family of the missing pair said they were visiting a kibbutz for Simchat Torah. The mother is a longtime member of Chabad of Evanston.

Rain won’t stop us. Chicago supports local news and stands against Alden, the destroyer of newspapers.

Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT. Tomorrow, 230+ journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve. It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the only thing to do. I love our Chicago Tribune. #teamtribune
