One Herald Guild 🏝

United for one purpose: to strengthen the journalists and the journalism of @elNuevoHerald, @MiamiHerald and @miamicom 🏝 Tweets in English, tuits en español.

[One Herald Guild 🏝 @OneHeraldGuild]

Yesterday, a combined 23 guild journalists from the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and Bradenton Herald were laid off by McClatchy.

We have launched a GoFundMe to help our colleagues, whose livelihoods and families have been upended by this decision. https://t.co/MkkZJ1plw5

McClatchy said they were all in on local journalism, but laid off our City of Miami reporter, all Broward staff, and many, many others. Join us in writing to them.

Today is the last day for dozens of our talented OHG colleagues laid off by McClatchy. The rest of us are all in to continue producing high-quality journalism for our community. Is McClatchy? Join us in writing to ask: https://t.co/UK1JxG2O4Z

Thank you all for your generous donations. This support will go so far for our members. We're closing the GoFundMe tomorrow, which is the last day of work for the 20+ laid off journalists. 🙏✊

It's been a little over a week since McClatchy's mass layoffs. I wrote about what's at stake when communities lose local journalists.

McClatchy laid me off. The need for local journalism didn’t go with me. https://t.co/0qq9QqtGko

En Miami los desiertos informativos se extienden. McClatchy despidió a todos los periodistas de el Nuevo Herald y a varios de Miami Herald.
El periodismo sigue siendo esencial para la democracia

>>>>>"What Chatham Management [McClatchy] seems not to understand is that the public can see through this strategy. Readers know the difference between journalism produced by people who care about their communities and a stream of cheaply produced, AI-generated knock-offs. And when readers lose faith in a newspaper, they stop paying attention, and, ultimately, stop paying for it."

[Aaron Leibowitz @aaron_leib]

My former colleagues at the @MiamiHerald deserve better than this disingenuous spin from McClatchy’s hedge fund owners.

Assuming those revenue figures are accurate, they’re not just the result of consumer choice in a vacuum. They’re also the result of corporate mismanagement.

[Aaron Leibowitz @aaron_leib]

Just brutal. https://t.co/tEuPn83fmN

[Carol Marbin Miller @MarbinMiller]

This will be a long thread. Please stick with it.

The Miami Herald, one of the premier legacy newspapers in America, laid off or wrote off more than 30 positions today – well over one-third of its editorial staff. The cuts include crucial accountability beats. (1)

[The NewsGuild-CWA @newsguild]

Yesterday, McClatchy laid off more than 90 unionized media workers across 17 publications.

The departure of these talented reporters, visual journalists & writers will immediately leave gaping holes in local coverage for dozens of communities across the US.

[One Herald Guild 🏝 @OneHeraldGuild]

[ID & WA News Guilds @idwanewsguilds]

📍Tacoma, Washington. Without local news, we all lose. Many of our reporters are struggling and need your help. Donate to our GoFundMe strike fund at https://t.co/O39zRfNnlr #pnwnews #strike #unionstrong #mcclatchy

[julie k. brown @jkbjournalist]

I am among the McClatchy journalists withholding my byline from AI-generated content. I cover sensitive stories that should never be repackaged or altered in any way by artificial intelligence. Whether the story is about sexual abuse or immigrants caged at Alligator Alcatraz, our journalists take great care to ensure that their material is accurate, fair and conveys invaluable aspects of humanity that AI simply can't do.

Solidarity with @OneHeraldGuild @newsguild journalists who are fighting to defend integrity and transparency in the press.

Despite McClatchy execs' claims "that subscribers will continue paying for a product riddled with A.I.-generated repeats, we see it as nothing but a race to the bottom"
