Gannett journalists strike over pay and cuts.
Journalists at two dozen Gannett-owned newspapers across the US staged a walkout to protest pay and working conditions, with the NewsGuild noting that their ranks have been decimated by cuts required to finance a merger with another major newspaper company four years ago. The walkout is said to be the largest labor action in Gannett's history, with workers focusing their ire on CEO Mike Reed, who they accuse of undercompensating them for years. Gannett says it is committed to a new strategy that will unlock public service journalism that appeals to readers, but concrete details are sparse.
