[Jo Communications @jo_commspr]

You may think you know Jo, but this is your double-take moment. We’re re-introducing ourselves as Jo Communications, a full-service communications agency with a different point of view. It’s time you got to know Jo.

@joeybear85 So late to every party but .... YAY! So happy for you, Gus & I are kitchen dancing in your honor

“Short-term business practices are polluting our environment and harming our health and well-being for the sake of quick payouts.” Also depriving us of essential tools of democracy- like our local newspapers. https://t.co/pwiCYuCBF9 via @NYTOpinion

⁦@byalisonbowen⁩ again shedding light on what sexual assault survivors face when they seek help. Making us proud ⁦@chicagotribune⁩ https://t.co/VUIAOCPiCf

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

Journalists are the people who aren’t afraid to stand up and say what’s on everyone’s mind. @MarySchmich knows something about that. https://t.co/ura06MdS1a

The fight to rein in Big Tobacco changed our nation. Will vaping cases shift the landscape again? My very smart colleague ⁦@knthayer⁩ takes a look https://t.co/befhLjWtaw

[Edgar Ramos @edghah]

We believe our newsrooms are grossly lacking in diversity. An example: Only two reporters in Allentown speak Spanish in a city that's majority Hispanic. We want the company to put in writing that they will seek out talented women and people of color. They refuse. #WeAreOneVoice

A stunner: In column B, the anti-harassment policy from our employee handbook. In column A, the protections @tribpub is willing to include in @CTGuild contract. 60% of US women suffer workplace harassment. TribPub prefers not to be legally bound to protect them. (Or others.)

@HeidiStevens13 Mattress stores are everywhere. How many mattresses can one city buy?

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

Bottom line: We’re asking our company to turn away from short-sighted, short-term thinking and invest in our newsrooms and our journalism. Because we’re the foundation the whole thing is built on, ⁦@tribpub⁩. ⁦@CTGuild⁩ is at the table today

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@joeybear85 @CTGuild Thanks for the hideous-yet-diabolically-useful design work, architects!

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

Ivanka Trump's tweet about Chicago and being "numb" to gun violence didn't feel authentic to @HeidiStevens13 — it felt like an attempt to change the subject. Who's numb? Not these people. https://t.co/2Wc05Iw2di

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@joeybear85 Started getting those pitches yesterday 🙄

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@KipKipkruse880 @HeidiStevens13 They’d be 99.9 % happy with that

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@JeremyGorner Thanks, man!

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@itskylelucas @royalpratt Seriously. It is sad

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@HeidiStevens13 Thanks man!

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@joeybear85 Thanks my friend 😁

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

@Chet_Kincaid @chicagotribune Nah, you just have to have a sense of humor about your fakes. Chicago's history of criminal collectors, though ... that's a whole other story ;-)

[Cindy Dampier @csdampier]

Dear collectors: If you love your stuff, it's not hoarding.
Witness a three-story collection of paint-by-numbers @wheelerkearns, Vuitton bags with a bittersweet backstory @ardenparty, and some well-styled "old men" @space_519.
