Washington D.C. - Politico
@DebraTice gave credit to journalists such as NBC correspondent Richard Engel & organizations like Hostage Aid Worldwide for reporting from #Syria on the ground. “They are determined to be looking,” she said of Engel & @HostageAid workers. “They are going into the cells, they’re going into some deep and dark places, and obviously, they are compelled to be there & the U.S. government is not.”
Twelve years ago today, American journalist #AustinTice was abducted in Syria while reporting on the civil war. He has not been seen since.
For twelve years, Austin’s family has not stopped campaigning for his release.

Scott was jeered at by Republican House of Representative members after simply doing her job — asking questions and holding elected officials accountable. Reporters should be allowed to do their jobs without harassment. 🔗https://t.co/UuTTm0uR7Y

SPJ is deeply concerned about the raid on the Marion County Record. SPJ is offering help covering up to $20,000 in legal fees for the newsroom, and condemns this brazen action taken by law enforcement to stop the flow of information. https://t.co/YW2xz65srH
"This brazen action has abuptly stopped the flow of information by making it impossible for journalists to carry out their duties," said SPJ President @clairemariereg1. The newsroom is sacrosanct; interrupting its operation is a threat to democracy." https://t.co/jcrVnCnuog

For the third year in a row, @LexisNexis will not recognize Juneteenth, like it does ALL other federal holidays. The message here is clear: corporate talk about diversity is just talk. Do better. #RELXDiversity#LNDiversity#ElsevierDiversity https://t.co/WknlhoU2Jf
We won. We formed a union @mlexguild w/ @wbng32035 in a unanimous vote after the company wouldn’t recognize 100% signed cards. Big thanks to @law360union for support.
Tell me your best advice on being a union journalist!
We at @mlexguild are proud to announce that a majority of our members voted 13-0 to form a union. MLex Guild, a unit of @WBNG32035 and part of @CWAUnion, is comprised of workers in Washington, New York and San Francisco.
As you might expect, management's anti-union playbook is used to prevent us from getting what we deserve for our work. Unions have to stand strong and support each other, because these managers, lawyers and consultants who make a living off discouraging unions won't quit.
