1/3 “News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.” AP Executive Editor Julie Pace affirmed the importance of “eyewitness journalism,” while AP is offering buyouts to more than 120 U.S. guild covered employees across multiple formats. How can AP be on the ground without us?

The whole page is a red background with a white border. The top has the logo for AP News Guild. Below the logo with white lettering, text reads: “News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.” -Julie Pace, Associated Press Executive Editor. Then there is a white bar through the page. Below that white text reads: AP Executive Editor Julie Pace affirmed the importance of “being on the ground” and “eyewitness journalism,” at this year’s Overseas Press Club Awards, all while AP guts its news staff by offering buyouts to more than 120 U.S. guild covered employees across multiple formats.
