After nearly 27 years as a reporter for the Associated Press, my time with the company has abruptly come to an end. I was part of a group of AP employees around the country who were laid off today. I was hoping I could survive layoffs after buyouts but it was not to be. (1/ 7)
Another hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP — this one involuntarily via layoffs. Reporters in big cities and state capitols. People who’ve broken some of the biggest stories of our time and improved the public’s understanding of important issues. It’s heartbreaking.
It’s personal news time: My nearly 33-year run at The Associated Press has come to an end. Like dozens of colleagues in the company, I accepted a buyout. My last day was Thursday. (1/6)
Please read our incredible media writer @dbauder's final piece in his illustrious career at the @AP:

"Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropped to 30% in April from 38% in a March AP-NORC poll. A similarly low share of U.S. adults, 32%, approve of the president’s leadership on Iran, which is unchanged since last month." via @joshboak@linleyann

AP journalists in the U.S. are on the frontlines providing essential news coverage and documenting history each and every day.
AP was there because WE were there.
But more than 120 AP guild covered employees across the country were offered buyouts on April 6, and layoffs could be coming. And that makes the guild wonder, will AP be there for you in the future?

Gallup polling shows Americans no longer sympathize with Israelis more than Palestinians, the culmination of a slow shift that accelerated during the war in Gaza. @LinleyAnn has the story https://t.co/7N0uM0dznH
As the U.S. and Iran head into nuclear talks in Geneva, a new AP-NORC poll finds that most Americans see Iran as an enemy but doubt Trump’s judgment on military force abroad.
