Mightier Together. The union of workers at POLITICO and E&E News. @newsguild @CWAUnion

[Sean Reilly @SeanatLarge26]

Reaction to today's announcement from the union that represents @EENewsUpdates and @politico newsroom employees:

[Ariel Wittenberg @ArielWittenberg]

Heard from a lot of loyal readers asking if we're OK this morning following news that @politico plans to kill the @EENewsUpdates brand. There's still a lot of questions. Here's what we've told management so far:

[penguild @penguild]

Shuttering E&E News goes directly against what @politico @POLITICOPro management told staff earlier this year, when our colleagues were asked to consider buyouts. A message from PEN Guild leadership 👇

New: Politico is folding E&E, the energy trade publication it bought in 2020.

The company says it is reorganizing its energy coverage under the Politico brand and launching a series of new state and global energy newsletters.

NEWS: POLITICO agreed to shut down 2 AI tools that were in violation of our collective bargaining agreement https://t.co/LBpaLNKRhc

full statement from PEN Guild: Our unit rejects ideological litmus tests of any kind 👇

[Natalie Korach @NatalieKorach]

With Axel Springer eying conservative media assets and Mathias Döpfner amplifying his own views, Politico staffers are concerned about editorial independence, as its parent company’s ambitions come into focus

Standing in solidarity with these fabulous journalists. Our readers deserve news, not slop!

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: https://t.co/tN24poWh62

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica management refuses to compromise on core issues.

We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect.

[Washington-Baltimore News Guild @WBNG32035]

When will @politico leaders detail their new "vision" for the newsroom? How many times do @penguild members have to ask for this insight into their own jobs?

[penguild @penguild]

@EENewsUpdates @POLITICOPro @politico And yet, @politico management still hasn’t met our main demand: Articulating the vision that allegedly precipitated these buyouts. We warned management when they announced this move that we would lose talented colleagues if they didn’t explain their reasons for doing this. 4/4

[penguild @penguild]

At least 19 of our @EENewsUpdates @POLITICOProcolleagues have decided to take the buyout and leave us this week.

It's no small amount. Not everyone was offered a buyout @politico. 1/4

[penguild @penguild]

@EENewsUpdates @POLITICOPro Buyouts from @politico represent:
21 percent of the newly-unified energy team, including 25 percent of E&E News
33 percent of the Magazine

And more from the central editing desk, data, visuals, graphics and interactives teams. 3/4

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

Hear from our members and those across @newsguild who are sounding the alarm about artificial intelligence -- and how you can join our fight. #NewsNotSlop

[NewsGuild of New York @nyguild]

A great rally today by our amazing @InsiderUnion. Our members will always stand up for people-powered journalism not AI slop. #NewsNotSlop

[William 'Bill' Baker @Billbaker830]

What a day! Started bright and early (and cold!) with @ReutersGuild to tell all who would listen the importance of #NewsNotSlop

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

Today, unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality and accuracy of our journalism.

[penguild @penguild]

Union work can be tedious and grueling, but sometimes you win big and get cake! Celebrated with our members this afternoon while watching @InsiderUnion 's rally for #newsnotslop

This, after @BusinessInsider laid off 25 % of staff in May. We stand in solidarity with @InsiderUnion. Readers deserve #newsnotslop

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

In a note to staff, Business Insider EIC Jamie Heller says the publication is launching a pilot program called Business Insider AI News Desk that will use AI to “help publish quick news stories.”

Several stories a day will now be “created by AI and edited by a person.”

[Insider Union ✊ @InsiderUnion]

@BusinessInsider That’s why union journalists won’t let AI take over your news sources. We are having a rally at 1pm ET tomorrow to protest Business Insider’s AI newsbot. JOIN US (5/5)
