Among the bills vetoed by Gov Hochul in the close of the year,
the "Keep police radio public act," which would have ensured that police dispatch radio remained audible to the press.

Sensitive tactical communications have long been encrypted. But recently, NYPD has been encrypting much of its precinct-level dispatch communications as well.

The Keep Police Radio Public Act is on Gov. Hochul's desk -- and it's important it becomes law.
Open access to police radio dispatch channels (as well as other public two-way radio chatter) is an important check on the PR operations run by many of the agencies we cover.

May the history of the Daily News, when it is written, reflect that upon unanimous ratification of the first contract in more than three decades, the next words uttered in the Zoom call were those of street reporter Kerry Burke: “Okay, I got a homicide. I gotta go.”

This was a hard-fought contract, and for the first time in recent history, we now have an actual system for annual raises at the Daily News.
A monumental win with this ratification vote.

Shame on Condé Nast management. If you can't take questions, don't be in the business of hiring reporters.
Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

This is the first CBA the for the paper's newsroom in 34 years. This is by all measures a historic accomplishment.
When we formed this union five years ago, we aimed to safeguard against the wrath of Alden, a hedge fund notorious for scrapping newspapers for parts.

We've reached the end of a three-year battle... and come out the other side with health care for part timers, raises, and much more. This would never have happened without the dedicated support of so many people at the Daily News, former Daily Newers, and many others. 🖖🏻
