We are demanding that every @startelegram reporter is paid a fair and livable wage in the increasingly expensive DFW Metroplex.

My colleagues deserve a fair and livable wage for their around-the-clock effort to bring high-quality journalism to Fort Worth residents.

[Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️ @FortWorthGuild]

Hi all! It’s been a while since we’ve last posted but we have an important update for you.

After six months of ongoing contract negotiations, we are still arguing for fair wages. Please consider standing in solidarity with us.
