Will Lester, longtime AP journalist in SC, Florida and Washington, dies at age 71. 700 words are not enough to honor this remarkable human, but I'm honored to have been given the opportunity to try. Will was the best of us. I will miss him, terribly. apnews.com/article/will-l…

Please take a moment to sign our petition protesting the decision of Oxford Academic to layoff 13 BU staff members. REVERSE THIS DECISION, RESTORE OUR JOBS, and RESPECT THE CONTRACT YOU JUST SIGNED. News Media Guild University of Oxford #OUPIsUnionStrong actionnetwork.org/petitions/oup-…

We’re standing with you

We’re negotiating our contract with EFE Noticias — and it’s long overdue. Cost of living in the US is up 58.9% since 2006. Our wages? Just 19.9%. We’re falling behind. 🧵

This isn’t how Agencia EFE, the leading Spanish-language newswire, treats its employees in Spain. We want change: fair wages, safety protections, and recognition for our work. We’ll be flexible — but management must be too.

We may be 3 at the table, but we speak for all of us. Every EFE worker in the U.S. gave us their support. We’re here, we’re united, and we’re ready to win a fair contract ✊✊

We stand for quality journalism in every language. ¡SOLIDARIDAD! ✊
