Personal news: I left @latimes in December after 11 years + joined L.A. Material — a new, soon-to-launch local news outlet.

We have a small but mighty team and our site is up! No stories yet but I’m excited to show soon what we’ve been working on.

Our city, our state and our country need a strong LA Times right now. But our leaders keeps dragging their feet at the bargaining table, distracting us from actual journalism.

This is the last thing I wanna do. But we’re willing to do whatever it takes to get a fair contract.

@nlgja @haileybranson @_hamilton_matt @jaweedkaleem @LZGranderson @Erika_D_Smith Led by the amazing @PatrickDraws - w/ @MKMetivier @probablyross, Allison Hong, @jimcookeIII & Taylor Le - the project was visually stunning, full of artwork from queer illustrators. The team won for Excellence in Packaging, Print or Online.

All of L.A. is not a ‘war zone.’ We separate facts from spin and disinformation amid immigration raids, protests throughout the city. Latest w/ @tarantulaarms @KarenMelissaGa7 & @howardblume https://t.co/kxFPREaeD8

Another rough day at LAT. My colleagues and I are doing our best to keep bringing you journalism that matters.

[Grace Toohey @grace_2e]

Hard to focus today as it’s the last day of work for so many talented, experienced @latimes journalists leavjng in the latest buyouts. I know I’m shouting into the void, but please please please support your local newsrooms and journalists

@tylerpager YAY!

I grew up in Altadena in my great-grandmother’s old home. It’s safe but a few blocks away is devastation.

Childhood friends lost their homes. Places I knew my whole life are gone.

I wrote about this special community w/ @brittny_mejia + @MelissaGomez004 https://t.co/seuxiKZKF7

[Hannah Wiley @hannahcwiley]

I remain in major awe of my colleagues @latimes.

For those who cancelled their subscription in the last year in protest of whatever, I urge you to take a look at our homepage and argue that this work isn't worth supporting: https://t.co/oXCaiWEE6a

This is just a devastating blow for journalism in Southern California.

A statement from Los Angeles Times Guild leadership:

[Kerry Cavanaugh @KerryC_LA]

@sewellchan @latimes This is a such a huge loss for the Times. @marielgarzaLAT has always been fearless in speaking truth to power and focused on serving readers.

The election is in 49 days, 15 hours and 55ish minutes.

Take a few minutes today to check that your voter registration is up to date and where you need to drop off a ballot/ vote in person.

[Jessica Perez @JessicaPerezLA2]

Today, we announce a new era at @boyleheightsbt

We’re now the first publication under the L.A. Local News Initiative and will be serving as its model to launch community newsrooms like ours across L.A. starting next year.

I wrote about what this means: https://t.co/y87Q97exYB

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

Maybe the first good piece of L.A. journalism news in approximately 247 years ... best of luck to @meridak and everyone involved. https://t.co/0QHmLEpnf0
