🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

NEW: L.A. Times journalists just voted to authorize the newsroom’s first open-ended strike.

2/ CW: Watch the full assault on a New York reporter here:

Imagine one company deciding what shows up on your TV.

Nexstar pulled Jimmy Kimmel to appease the FCC — because they want a merger that would allow them to control what 8 out of 10 Americans see.

That’s monopoly power, not free speech.

Ryanne was shot in the head for doing her job as a journalist.

When gov targets the press, it’s not just an attack on reporters—it’s a violation of the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

We’re proud to join @aclusocal.bsky.social & @lapressclub.bsky.social to demand accountability.

RELEASE: Jon Schleuss, president of The NewsGuild-CWA, sounds the alarm on police violence against reporters during the LA protests.

“We demand that every law enforcement agency open investigations into any officer violating the rights of journalists doing their jobs.”

Journalism is NOT a crime.

🤖 Artificial intelligence is being used in newsrooms to publish error-ridden stories with no human oversight. But journalists are drawing the line.

Guild members have won enforceable AI protections in over 35 union contracts — one of the only national frameworks for AI accountability.
