The Gannett walkout — expected to be the largest in the newspaper chain’s history — will be the just latest labor protest of this kind to hit American newsrooms in recent months.

Today Gannett announced even more cuts (buyouts, unpaid leaves, 401k match cuts). Meanwhile execs continue to blow money on their own pay, anti-journalist lawyers, stock buybacks and debt.

The best way to fight back is to build your union.

#SaveLocalNews. The Local Journalism Sustainability Act, a tax credit in the Build Back Better bill would save thousands of journalism jobs and protect local news sources that Americans depend on. @RepMcGovern @ewarren @SenMarkey

Gannett said it does not have plans right now to do more outsourcing later in 2021 but did not close the door on that option.

Today is a sad day in The Hartford Courant’s history.

We were just told @tribpub will close our Broad Street office, with no plan to find us a new one.

We are indefinitely without an office.

I started at @jaxdotcom ~8 years ago. I love reporting on my hometown. The Gannett model doesn't work, but a new one might.

Dec. 1 is my last day. I'm trying something new, a nonprofit collaborative. Sign up to be the first to learn how to support it:

Big stories and essential reporting don’t protect the Florida Times-Union from a fresh round of staff cuts. https://t.co/is3q6inOQj

Thank you to the NewsGuild members and other journalists who will be working well into the night – and perhaps much longer – to tell the story of the most consequential election of our lifetime. They will be defending our democracy in cities and towns across America.

“Take Me Out to the Ball Game”

We just want a fair contract
It has been 19 months
We’ve sacrificed for this company

We just want to be treated fairly
So we’ll fight, fight, fight for our contract

We know it’s what we deserve
We just want our jobs protected
While we do our work
