Journalists are often trained to avoid becoming part of the story. But when you can’t tell the story, you ARE the story!

If you are a journalist — or know one — who has been attacked or seriously threatened in the course of reporting, let us know.

NEW: McClatchy executives told NewsGuild journalists @pacnwguild.bsky.social that the company wants to publish AI-generated stories, create fake AI versions of reporters and bypass human review.

That’s not journalism. That’s slop, and we demand #NewsNotSlop!

McClatchy’s Machine Mindset
A recent meeting with McClatchy executives left union leaders stunned and deeply alarmed about how the company wishes to implement A.I. in the newsroom, Status has learned.

Journalist town hall sounds alarm on freedom of the press. Media workers face a two-front war: The government attacks when they're covering events, while bosses and press owners attack them in the newsroom.

Diane Mastrull, an @inquirer.com legend and an all-time president of our @newsguild.org local, just finished her last day in the newsroom.

We sent her off with the traditional standing ovation, and some of us realized it’s another tradition that’s fast disappearing.
