NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

Firmly believe one of the ways to improve trust in journalism among young people is to support them in learning to research, write, and report themselves. Even if they never pursue it as a job, it helps to understand the process, and encourages them to engage with their local journalism outlets.
About half of the teens surveyed believe that journalists frequently “make up details, such as quotes” and “pay for sources.” More than a third of teens believe journalists could improve by simply “Telling the truth,” “Fact checking,” and “Not lying.” buff.ly/7vgO0ci

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

To be frank: It’s insulting. Their proposed floor is $8,000 less than what our lowest-paid member makes. They want to wrap up bargaining by December, but we won’t accept less than what our members deserve.

A month ago, we proposed a salary floor of $90k to management, citing our costs of living, RNG’s wage disparities, and the fact that most of us worked second jobs in the last year to make ends meet.
Yesterday, management countered—with a salary floor of $60k.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Conde Nast and Vogue (which Teen Vogue is being pulled into) are truly underestimating how much young people are impacted by and care about politics.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire.
The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.
