Save Rockrimmon Library group has packed the City Council Chamber and the City Hall steps in Colorado Springs. The group is asking the council to step in and prevent library branch closure at the end of November

For decades, workers at @TheStranger, @portlandmercury, @EverOutSeattle, @EverOutPortland and @BoldTypeTickets have fostered an alternative voice in Pacific Northwest media. Today, we have asked the upper management at Index Media to voluntarily recognize our union.

The Daily News just made the change to printing three days a week. The rollout so far has not made us less worried about Lee's short-sighted moves and lack of real investment in our staff. #LeeUnionsRaisingAwareness

Yesterday, Crosscut’s parent company (@CascadePubMedia) announced it intends to lay off five newsroom employees, effective July 1, and replace them with additional video and podcast producers.

@NickolettU @komonews @KING5Seattle @fox13seattle @ScottSeattleWx Hi, I'm one of the reporters for the Daily News in Longview. I'd like to talk to you about the photos of the slide and the people stuck up there if you have time this morning. bkauffman@tdn.com

Road washout last night at Johnston Ridge. About 10 people stranded overnight. They will be airlifted this am. Pics from Tim Uhler @komonews @KING5Seattle @fox13seattle @ScottSeattleWx

A Kalama City Council member was found guilty of illegally accessing another Council member's email while searching for evidence of a police conspiracy. City leaders call on him to resign tdn.com/news/local/cri…

Part of why I left the Adams-run Post Register was how long they kept us at less than 40 hours a week. That was June 2021. The idea they're still jerking their Bozeman reporters around on basic fair hours and pay is outrageous.

Laying off one of our paper's ad reps is bad. Doing it in such a brutally abrupt timeline this morning makes it even worse. I stand with the rest of the Longview NewsGuild and our remaining ads workers.

"Over the next five days, Longview School Resource Officer Reece would pose as a special needs student to deceptively ask out the sophomore" Very good reporting from my fellow TDN reporter Matthew to bring this incident to light.

Back in 2014, a local school resource officer began asking out and harassing a 15-year-old student via text. The officer was removed from the school after her mother issued a complaint but remained with the Longview Police until 2023. #tracking-source=mp-news" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tdn.com/news/local/cri…

More than 100 people were crossing the Allen Street Bridge in Kelso on Jan. 3, 1923 when it collapsed into the river. At least 20 people were killed.

Our union is growing! Today, the advertising staff of the Longview Daily News has petitioned to join the Longview NewsGuild. We have asked Lee Enterprises for voluntary recognition of their addition, but absent that, there will be an election in the new year. 1/4

Aaaand one minute after I tweeted that, the Seattle Times called the race for Perez. Hope everyone is ready for even more coverage of this from @the_daily_news, because this will probably not be a quiet next week.

Over the last three days, Clark County has counted 64,000 votes and Kent gained a grand total of 266 more votes than Perez. He needs to be up 4,500 votes just to tie her.

New results from Clark and Thurston countries in #Wa03 give Kent a net gain of 338 votes out of 16,000 counted today. He would need close to 2/3 of the remaining ballots to break his way, which especially in Clark is unlikely...

Cowlitz County just posted an update for the WA-03 race. Kent gains another 750 votes on Perez, but his rate of gain had dropped compared to yesterday. Clark County will be the deciding factor going forward and tonight's update will be key to figure out Kent's chances.

My estimate is that he needs to beat Perez by at least 4000 votes in the rest of Clark's 45,000 estimated count to catch her. If we don't see a big jump when the count comes out Friday... Kent may be in trouble

Updated voted results from Clark County are a mixed bag for Kent. He gained 126 net votes over MGP, but out of 24,700 that were counted. That's at the low end of the pace he needs for a full comeback, especially with Lewis County almost fully reported.
