A huge thank you to all our supporters! We couldn’t have done this without our communities and those who care about the longevity of journalism.

Bad-faith bargaining is bad for business. After we went on strike, a major advertiser halted ad buys in solidarity. We are asking others to do the same until McClatchy Media comes to the table with a fair offer.

Don’t cross the picket line today, Tuesday, May 26! Join us by refusing to click any articles or interacting in any way with our five McClatchy newspapers.

Please join me in donating to the @idahonewsguild.bsky.social / @idwanewsguilds.bsky.social strike fund. Their fight for a fair contract and limits on the use of AI is nothing less than the fight for the future of local journalism. gofund.me/3608fc95d

Donate to Stand with Journalists for the Future of Local News, organized by Idaho and Washington State NewsGuildsWe’re ready to strike. But we need your help to do it. … Idaho and Washington State NewsGuilds needs your support for Stand with Journalists for the Future of Local Newsgofund.me

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

McClatchy Journalists Revolt Against AI: ‘It’s a Betrayal’ | ExclusiveSacramento Bee staffers refuse bylines over a new AI tool as colleagues at the Miami Herald and Charlotte Observer harbor concerns.www.thewrap.com

Unionized journalists at the Sacramento Bee stand united against McClatchy’s latest AI “articles” initiative. We have withheld our bylines from these stories because we do not want the public to think this is being done in our name — it’s not. We think it’s disgusting.

Real reporters are the ones doing the work. So why is Tony spending all the money we generate on AI? #localnews #ainews #mcclatchy #tonyhunter #BellinghamNews #tacomanews #boisenews #OlympiaWA #tricitieswa #pnwnewsguild #UnionStrong #fairwagesnow #corporategreed

Tony's executive team is asking us to produce 20-50% more work, but won't provide annual raises consistent with inflation. We lose money the longer we work here. While Tony serves on the United Way board, the very same organization suggests 75% of his PNW reporters earn less than a stable income.

We know we won't soon afford homes like Tony's million-dollar mansion. But working at McClatchy shouldn't mean we'll never afford any home. We should be able to save money, to pay off our student loans, to live our lives without the fear of a single unexpected bill disrupting our ability to survive.

We aren't asking for unreasonable pay — we just want enough to live in the markets we work in. When your subscription price goes up, that money isn't going to news staff, it's lining executive staff pockets.

Without reporters, photographers and other newsroom staff, McClatchy CEO Tony Hunter wouldn't have millions of dollars to spend on AI. THREAD🧵

Olympian reporter Ty Vinson lives in Tacoma with News Tribune reporter Peter Talbot. The couple said they have been forced to forgo visiting family during the holidays year after year because they can't afford the plane tickets. THREAD🧵

Six-year Olympian reporter Martín Bilbao, 28, said he’s found his budget getting “increasingly more in the red” every year and has delayed his wedding “because of money concerns.” THREAD🧵

Tacoma News Tribune reporter Izzie Lund, 26, said she didn't leave her home for three weeks after an unexpected dental bill because she couldn't afford to put gas in her tank. "I was just trapped in my apartment," Lund said.

McClatchy reporters have struggled to afford groceries, weddings & plane tickets to see family. As more McClatchy reporters feel forced out of the industry, this has also affected the quality of journalism in their communities.
