Some of the first and last stories I covered here were mass displacements of tenants in Charlotte. Neighborhoods change but the stories I heard became all too similar, a pattern that repeats over and over. My last for @theobserver: charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art…

New: McClatchy journalists at newspapers in 4 states are now withholding their bylines from A.I.-generated content as tensions grow over a "content scaling agent" tool that the company rolled out nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

Imagine being a bright-eyed J-School grad eager to launch your reporting career, and the editor of Cleveland's metro daily puts you on blast for wanting to be a journalist instead of an AI content farmer. cleveland.com/news/2026/02/j…

When @PittsburghPG announced its 5/3 closure, we started organizing PAPER, the Pittsburgh Alliance for People-Empowered Reporting to explore alternatives to the Block-owned PG. Today, we started sharing & more than 100 of you already gave $5k+. Join them? OurPaperNow.org

Really incredible news. After spending THREE YEARS on strike, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers have WON!!!

“You all know how grateful I am to all of you and to everyone’s families. The sacrifices you’ve made. You’ve gone above and beyond what anyone could ever ask for. So, I just want to say cheers to the strikers. Cheers to the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.” unionprogress.com/2025/11/11/thi…

BREAKING: We did win! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @PittsburghPG to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for for 3+ years.

BREAKING: 1,300 postdoc researchers at Northwestern University are unionizing with @ueunion.

The Sun-Times Guild is aware of the third-party “summer guide” content in the Sunday, May 18 edition of the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. This was a syndicated section produced externally without the knowledge of the members of our newsroom. 🧵👇

@Binghuihuang @IllinoisAnswers Congrats!

Last month, I left the Indianapolis Star, a newsroom of great journalists and even better people. Today, I start my job at the @IllinoisAnswers, investigating economic equity issues across Chicago. I’ll be trying to get out as much as I can but please say hi to me here too!

@PhoebePetrovic Wait, we have a very beloved Buppa who we lost this year, named 40-some years ago by my oldest cousin. I’ve never heard of another!

@KallieECox @rft Kallie, I am so sorry to hear this. I've always enjoyed reading your work and especially what you were doing at RFT. Let me know if I can do anything .

@hannaherinlang @MarketWatch 👀

If you’ve ever had a difficult, frustrating or otherwise terrible boss, I want to talk to you for a story for @MarketWatch. I’m writing about how to survive a bad manager, and want to hear how you coped. Send me a DM or email me: hannaherin.lang@marketwatch.com 💼

The only hospital in Belzoni, Mississippi, closed in 2013. I spent the past three months reporting how, in the decade since, the town has suffered. mississippitoday.org/2024/01/22/mis…

.@PGHGuild workers have been on strike for >1 yr, enabled by scabs& other newsrooms willing to fill the paper & extend the strike. Is that @propublica’s mission to use “the moral force of investigative journalism to spur reform through the sustained spotlighting of wrongdoing”?

@propublica @PittsburghPG Important work. Did you need to cross a picket line for it? PP board members, do you expect people to support a publication that lies about scabbing & lashes out about it? @ClaireBernard @PaulSagan1 @anu_khosla @HenryLouisGates @carrielozano @bad_robot washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

Residents and fellows training at Northwestern Medicine hospitals and clinics filed with the National Labor Relations Board late Friday morning in a step toward unionizing. trib.al/6WcRPej

Publisher & @PittsburghPG co-owner @johnrblock thought he could hide from his workers at the Yale Bowl today. No dice. He knows us & our @CWADistrict213 & @Teamsters union siblings have proposals that will save us all $. When will he stand up & take it? johnblockstrike.com
