For 90.9 @WBUR, we are reporters, editors, producers, content creators and production staff calling for a greater voice through our @sagaftra union.

We’re concerned for the future of our union, newsroom, and station as the number of content creators continues to shrink. We hope management will work with us after layoffs are announced to fill gaps in our newsroom that will be left and forge a path ahead. #wemakewbur

We specifically asked about the timing of any impending decisions, but we were told those decisions have not yet been made and that they needed to do more work before they were able to provide that information.

Congrats to reporter @mbebinger for winning a Gracie Award for her dedicated reporting on addiction and home-based supervised consumption. It’s well deserved recognition of the important work our makers do every day. #wemakewbur wbur.org/inside/2024/03…

WBUR's journalists are the best in the biz, and journalism literally could not be made without its makers. We hope management will continue to work collaboratively with the union in an effort to save jobs and keep WBUR's journalism strong. #wemakewbur

The union remains committed in our belief that it is possible to avoid the worst case scenario — layoffs — if buyouts do not make up for the budget shortfall. We reiterate our call on management to focus on cost saving alternatives.

Today, WBUR management offered a voluntary buyout package to all staff in an effort to reduce the station's financial shortfall. (Thread continues…)

It's a scary time to be in journalism. When you support WBUR, you're supporting a union station -- and the literal jobs of some of the best reporters in the biz! twitter.com/WeMakeWBUR/sta…

We won't bury the news: We're asking our community to support @WBUR during a moment of financial difficulty. The background: CEO Margaret Low recently shared that WBUR is facing a tough economic picture. wbur.org/inside/2024/03…

Public radio stations, including the one I work for, have seen ad money dry up (or more accurately, get sopped up by big tech) even as @WBUR's journalism is stronger than ever. Support the work I and my @WeMakeWBUR colleagues do every day, if you can: wbur.org/membership 🫶

“At WBUR we’ve seen a dramatic loss of sponsorship support. In the digital age, almost all that money now goes to the big platforms — like Facebook, Google, Amazon & Spotify. … In the last 5 years, our annual on-air..underwriting has dropped by more than 40% — nearly $7 million.

I love @WBUR. I love my work, and my colleagues. But the news business is difficult. Margaret Low’s letter, outlining the challenges before us, is smart and real. If you support public radio, and appreciate our work, now’s the time to chip in 💛 wbur.org/inside/2024/03…

We couldn't agree more with this statement in Low's letter to the community. We work hard to deliver quality journalism and want to avoid what's happening across the media industry.
