Support your local paper! We need local news. Nobody will benefit from having all of the news coming out of Washington and New York.

Starting today, California-based journalists at @latimes are shifting to a 32-hour workweek under a work-sharing program that will run through July. Our D.C. bureau joins soon. This was a plan proposed by @latguild that will avert at least 84 newsroom layoffs.

Local journalism helps tell the full story – The New York Times https://t.co/nKQ6ct0XBK
Last night, we approved an agreement w/ @baltimoresun for 1 week furlough and permanent pay cuts for those making $67,000+, and 3-week furloughs for most making less than $67k. It also stops @tribpub from laying off at the Sun through May 30, or June 30 if company gets 2 buyouts.
