Hey all, before the Notre Dame game ramps up I just wanted to raise some awareness about an issue that affects a lot of us here in South Bend and that's the recently announced spending cuts at Gannett. On Wednesday, Gannett announced...(1/🧵)

Hey all! Another Notre Dame night game another thread about local news unions! While ND is off to a good start in this one, Gannett is off to a horrible start in its bargaining with our news guild (South Bend NewsGuild), offering a wage proposal that's unacceptable...(1/a few)

Sending love to our fellow Indianapolis Newspaper Guild today. Sadly it's not just in South Bend where Gannett has failed to invest in local journalists
