Safeguarding the future of the Chicago Sun-Times. Loud and proud members of the @ChiNewsGuild.

Today, @chicagotribune laid off five guild staff members in a roughly 10% cut to our newsroom. These layoffs underscore a sad but unsurprising failure of leadership by Alden Global Capital, our hedge fund owner, and local management.

The @chicagotribune is offering buyouts to our journalists. This move by Alden Global Capital, our rapacious ownership group, shows a total lack of vision and respect for the newsroom and the city we serve. We will do whatever we can to support our members. (1/4)





After more than 37 years at the Chicago Sun-Times, I have decided to accept a buyout. My last day will be this Friday. It's been a great privilege--but I am moving forward. I have no intention of stopping or even slowing down. Cheers. docs.google.com/document/d/10H…




Thirty employees of the Chicago Sun-Times — around one in five on its payroll — have agreed to resign after a buyout offer. The departures primarily affect writers and editors, many of whom have extensive experience at the newspaper. trib.al/25wSz67
