McClatchy 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.

AI has a place.

Publishing misinformation and calling it local news ain’t it.

Newspaper conglomerate McClatchy—the hedge fund-owned publisher that owns local outlets across the country—wants to *aggressively* implement A.I. into its newsrooms, w/proposals that have stunned the union.

Reporters can do what AI can’t.
