The latest @Scott_Maxwell column talks about how most Sentinel journalists haven’t gotten a raise in years, even as the paper posts healthy profits “..those profits are why hedge funds target newspapers, because there’s money to mine
They deserve better.” orlandosentinel.com/2024/02/…

🚨Tribune journalists are WALKING OUT.🚨
Today, 230+ journalists from Orlando to Chicago are striking for 24 hours to send Alden Global Capital a message: after 5 years of bargaining, it’s time to give workers the contract they deserve.
It’s time to end #AldenAusterity.

ON STRIKE TODAY: @orlandosentinel reporters are among hundreds of Tribune reporters walking out today.
Companies that are serious about serving their communities should be equally as serious about paying their employees enough to live where they work. Support @OS_Guild ✊

I'm heartbroken that my friends and colleagues at the Sun-Sentinel were notified this morning that they have been laid off. I wouldn't wish this kind of news on my worst enemy.
To that point, there are many coming out of the woodwork to celebrate journalists losing their jobs.
