A statement from the HuffPost Union @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs.

"The 'take it or leave it' power of these studios is already enormous, and writers have borne the brunt of it. A combined Paramount-Warner Bros. will only make it worse." - Screenwriter Mike Schur for The Hollywood Reporter www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Mike Schur: The Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Is Existential for Writers

“A market ceases to function when competition disappears. And it’s disappearing,” contends the comedy writer whose credits include 'Saturday Night Live,' 'The Office,' 'Parks and Recreation,'…

I am forever grateful to my colleagues, who made working here a dream job. And I am especially grateful and proud to have been a part of @huffpostunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social. Together, we fought off cuts to severance and PTO payout, which has provided me with so much relief

Solidarity with @huffpostunion.bsky.social ❤️‍🩹 10 members were laid off today from the Video team, National reporting desk, and Visuals team: journalists covering the communities most vulnerable right now. Shame on management.

A statement from the HuffPost Union @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs.

"Those of us in the industry have heard these promises before: A larger company will invest more, create more and strengthen the industry. It does not bear out. Consolidation has not made the jobs better in this industry, it has made them worse." - WGAE’s Tom Fontana and WGAW’s Michele Mulroney

Contributor: Why writers are fighting Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros.

When a major studio buys its competitor, it leads to lower compensation for industry workers and reduced choices and diversity for audiences.

latimes.com

We reject the claim that beleaguered industry workers must choose the possibility of a job today, in exchange for the certainty of job losses tomorrow. #BlockTheMerger

I'm still finding out about these folks but @freepress.bsky.social (no, not Bari Weiss's outlet!), @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social, and several unions including @newsguild.org @wgaeast.bsky.social and @nwu.org are all organizations pushing for structural changes to our information environment.

The Media and Democracy Project@mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Yes. In addition to individual action there must by large scale action. It’s necessary to agitate and advocate for legislative solutions to the local journalism crisis. There are orgs and communities doing this. We are one. www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org

Today, game workers and allies are taking action at Save Our Devs actions across the US and Canada to call out layoffs and corporate greed in the industry and to demand fair first contracts across Microsoft’s gaming studios.
