I wish I could - but my paper is spending 1000s of dollars a week to keep us here reporting - reporters cost money, just like hamburgers, milkshakes, Netflix and beer😀

This demand seems simple enough! The Wall Street Journal should make the right decision and recognize these workers today.

Did you know that photo editors at The WSJ are being denied membership to our own company’s union?

I was an infant during Phil Petty's last year at South Carolina. Despite it, I've heard stories about him and how he helped turn around the struggling football program at USC. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
