The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Corporate profiteers destroyed journalism. Worker-owned media can save it.

Former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers went on strike for over three years and won. Then, the owners sold the paper and most strikers lost their jobs. Now, they’ve launched “a cooperative news organiz...

We don’t have a contract yet, but I’m extremely proud of our TA on the AI section. It’ll protect us from all the ill-informed, self-defeating nonsense other outlets try to pull.

Trump's DOJ withdraws subpoenas compelling NY Times journalists to testify about anonymous sources in reporting on Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet https://cnn.it/4gU4hmS

Good news.

BREAKING: U.S. to Withdraw Subpoenas Issued to New York Times Journalists A federal judge raised questions about the government’s handling of the subpoenas, which The Times said were an attempt to intimidate the free press. (Yes, I can say, I am glad to hear this) www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/b...

Our wages are lagging far behind inflation. Our union's wage proposal simply makes us whole after years of losing buying power. But management's proposal wouldn't even cover this year's inflation.

Schneps reporters unionize to demand better pay, benefits, and protections - Red Hook Star-Revue

Two months after making Schneps Media the most decorated news group at the 2026 New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, journalists at the local media conglomerate have formed a union. ...

“ProPublica can be extremely generous with its senior reporters,” says reporter Doug Bock Clark, “but for entry level people… they’re not getting paid enough.” We need contract language that ensures fair wages for all ProPublica employees.

Under @edsource.org management’s proposal, most of us would get fewer than 18 weeks of severance if we are laid off for no fault of our own. After 38 years in the business, senior reporter Diana Lambert thinks that she – and her coworkers – deserve better.

“I’m frustrated because management is not agreeing to a basic cornerstone of every union contract,” says news apps developer Al Shaw. Seniority-based layoff protections are important both for protecting long-time staffers AND for ensuring layoffs can’t be used to circumvent Just Cause protections.

“ProPublica can be extremely generous with its senior reporters,” says reporter Doug Bock Clark, “but for entry level people… they’re not getting paid enough.” We need contract language that ensures fair wages for all ProPublica employees.

Management has refused to grant us reasonable cost-of-living raises during nearly 18 months of bargaining, and now we’re fighting to make up the ground we’ve lost in an era of historic inflation.

“I really care about A.I. in this contract and getting really strong guardrails to protect our work,” says grants coordinator Eli Oberman. Management has said they want to have responsible A.I. policies – but we need them to put those policies in a contract!
