JOURNALISM IS ACTIVISM. I advocate for the truth. I advocate for accountability. I advocate for communal responsibility of one another.

Because good work needs a good workplace

STATEMENT: The Star-Tribune on Sunday announced we're going down to a three-day print week. We were also told we're losing our last customer service representative. Here's the Casper News Guild's response.

Lee Enterprises is slashing production at many of its print newspapers in favor of generic, user unfriendly digital platforms that actually downplay local news. This wrongheaded and ongoing disinvestment by Lee Enterprises is a recipe for failure, not success.

These #Va newspapers - all cutting back on the number of days they’re available in print - are owned by ⁦Lee Enterprises⁩, parent of Richmond Times-Dispatch, which will continue, for now, to produce a print edition seven days a week. cardinalnews.org/2023/05/28/six…

Hello. ProPublica has unionized. We are a wall-to-wall union of reporters, editors, business and communications staff across the nation who are dedicated to investigative journalism in the public interest. propublicaguild.org

Lee Enterprises, in its latest move to drain resources from one of its properties, has gotten rid of our award-winning news design desk at The Buffalo News. You may have noticed if you’ve seen the pages of the newspaper lately. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness 🧵

Journalists across the country are speaking out this week against destructive business decisions by media chain Lee Enterprises. Chronic disinvestment and Lee Enterprises' latest move to slash daily printing of many newspapers is a recipe for failure. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Omaha is still printed seven days a week, at least for the foreseeable future, but most of Lee Enterprises papers are being cut to three days a week. These drastic cuts don't serve the company, the investors, the readers or the employees. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Something has to change. Unions of Lee Enterprises launched a campaign to highlight the cuts by the company and how it's preventing communities from getting the news they deserve. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness newsguild.org/lee-enterprise…

For those don't remember, Lee Enterprises eliminated roughly a quarter of its Omaha World-Herald Omaha World-Herald newsroom staff earlier this year. Omaha World-Herald Guild #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

The Daily News just made the change to printing three days a week. The rollout so far has not made us less worried about Lee's short-sighted moves and lack of real investment in our staff. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Lee’s cuts are coming to Idaho as it cuts the (Twin Falls) Times-News’ print edition to three days a week. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

We at the Timesland News Guild want to express solidarity with the newsrooms across the country affected by Lee Enterprises’ poorly managed print reductions. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Newsroom unions across Lee Enterprises (Lee Enterprises) are protesting the company's decision to cut many newspapers - at least 40 so far, incl. 6 in Virginia - to 3X/week print. More details in my May 28 Cardinal News story: cardinalnews.org/2023/05/28/six…

Going down to a three-day print week so that our newsroom has more time for stronger journalism is one thing. But all the guild has heard from readers is that they think we’re cutting services just to cut services. What reason do they have to believe otherwise?
