Gannett journalists to strike in protest of CEO and cost-cutting measures.

Journalists at Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the US, are planning a one-day strike during the company's annual shareholder meeting to demand new leadership. The NewsGuild-CWA union, which represents over 1,000 employees, has accused CEO Mike Reed of hollowing out newsrooms and prioritising his own pockets over investing in journalists. The strike will involve 24 Gannett newspapers across seven states, with some newsrooms striking for up to two days. Gannett has contested the allegations and said it is focused on investing in local newsrooms and negotiating fairly with the union.

Gannett journalists to strike nationwide in protest of CEO and cost-cutting measures.

Hundreds of unionized Gannett journalists across the US will go on strike on June 5, coinciding with the company's annual shareholders meeting. The NewsGuild-CWA is calling on shareholders to withhold their votes on CEO Mike Reed, citing job cuts and dwindling local news coverage. Gannett says it is saving local journalism through its "Project Breakthrough" initiative. Unionized journalists say they are deeply underpaid, while Reed made around $3.4m in 2022. The strike will not include employees at Gannett's design/editing centers.
