I'm starting a news-based boy band called "The Paper Boys." Here's a look at our first EP.

Track 1: Enemy of the People
Track 2: Fake News
Track 3: Budget Concerns
Track 4: Layoffs
Track 5: Crying into my beer

Some other stuff happens in the middle.

Track 10: I work in PR now

The latest @Scott_Maxwell column talks about how most Sentinel journalists haven’t gotten a raise in years, even as the paper posts healthy profits “..those profits are why hedge funds target newspapers, because there’s money to mine

They deserve better.” https://t.co/JC4VPUFHec

🚨Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT.🚨

Today, 230+ journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve.

It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.

[Grace Toohey @grace_2e]

Proud of these people 💪🍊🫶

Here's how to support them and local journalism ⬇️
