Save Local News

The latest LA Times twist, and the now-best description of Alden ever: "The news industry’s closest analog to a serial killer." #NewsOurCommunitiesDeserve niemanlab.org/2023/07/the-lo…

Nope, Alden isn't done devouring local newspapers. And anyone remember when Soon-Shiong 'inexplicably' helped Alden buy Tribune? #NewsOurCommunitiesDeserve latimes.com/entertainment-…

Allan Block likes to see and be seen in positons of prestige and power around Toledo, @CSPAN, and beyond. But as the Ohio Newsroom reports, he runs his hometown newspaper like a slumlord. statenews.org/news/2023-05-0…

Rents have shot up in some low-income neighborhoods in West Virginia as new property owners threaten residents with eviction notices and "pay or quit" letters. The new owners? The parent company of "the destroyer of newspapers," Alden Global Capital cjr.org/special_report…

“We’re both on disability. I don’t know where we’re going to go… There’s hardly any places around here, and the ones that are here cost too much. ... this all started when the new owners took over.” Alden Global Capital, that is. #SaveLocalNews cjr.org/special_report…

Thanks @dfmworkers for speaking out. Alden Global Capital is gutting newspapers across the U.S. - threatening journalism and democracy. #NewsMatters #AldenExposed

STRIKE UPDATE: More than 1,000 @newsguild members sent a letter to scabs at the Post-Gazette telling them they are "undermining the strike by crossing the picket line." unionprogress.com/2023/02/01/100…

This afternoon, in protest of @Gannett's stalling tactics and bad-faith proposals at the bargaining table, we are boycotting our weekly news meeting. Gannett must bring serious counters and start treating its journalists with the dignity they deserve. #FairContractNow (1/4)

In Denver, they asserted their Thirst Amendment rights to #SaveLocalNews. Brilliant! dfmworkers.org/denver-post-ne…

Incredible scene in front of the NYT — solidarity from @MediaGuildWest ✊

Tonight! If you're in Denver, swing on by and swig for local news journalists. #SaveLocalNews durangoherald.com/articles/our-v…

I reluctantly give up Wordle for the day to honor the virtual picket line.

The @PittsburghPG today demanded the right to wage theft via healthcare costs. They did not come in good faith to anyone out on strike, still working for them, or our community at all. unionprogress.com/2022/12/06/thi…

"FlyteCo Beer, is taking efforts to help support local journalism by collaborating with The Denver Post’s newsroom guild on the release of The Thirst Amendment." Brilliant! #SaveLocalNews porchdrinking.com/articles/2022/…

They're part of a noble tradition — strike papers. Members of @PGHGuild are making history! #SaveLocalNews dfmworkers.org/pittsburgh-new…
