Unionized journalists at the Sacramento Bee stand united against McClatchy’s latest AI “articles” initiative. We have withheld our bylines from these stories because we do not want the public to think this is being done in our name — it’s not. We think it’s disgusting.

ICYMI: The Sac Bee Guild is urging McClatchy to raise salaries and give our lowest paid reporters fair pay. Currently, eight of our local news reporters (who are predominantly BIPOC + women) are underpaid so much that they qualify for low income housing. We deserve better.
About 60% of The Sacramento Bee’s reporters and photojournalists are white. But if you look at the pool of local reporters whose wages are so low they qualify for low-income housing, the ratio is flipped: 63% are people of color. Management offered a deal that would leave most of them low-income.
Sacramento Bee News Guild@sacbeeguild.bsky.social · 9mo agoMcClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters. Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.

In bargaining with the Sacramento Bee guild today, McClatchy management proposed wage increases so pitiful that they would leave seven of our local journalists eligible for low-income housing.

The Sac Bee Guild has been negotiating with McClatchy for fair pay/higher salaries for months. Today, McClatchy countered with an offer that still leaves our lowest paid reporters (who are majority BIPOC and or women), struggling financially. We demand better.
