"Newspaper Journalists Plan 24-Hour Strike Against Budget Cuts and Ownership"
Journalists at several Pulitzer-winning regional newspapers owned by Alden Global Capital, including the Chicago Tribune, the Orlando Sentinel, and the Virginian-Pilot, plan to walk off the job to protest management’s refusal to offer cost-of-living raises and threats to end their 401(k) matches. The walkouts are part of a larger wave of union actions at media companies, with employees expressing concerns over the firm's practices of slashing newsroom operations and cutting staff. The collective action aims to confront management over practices that are seen as undermining coverage of their communities, and the journalists are prepared to continue fighting for their rights.
