Historic move.
Hundreds of journalists employed at the largest newspaper chain in the country
went on strike. Yesterday,
journalists working at about two dozen net newsrooms walked off
the job and some are expected to continue that strike.
Today.
Last month,
the news Guild union sent a letter to shareholders urging
a vote of no confidence against their CEO Mike Reed.
In that letter,
the union criticized Gannett's 2019 merger with Gatehouse media stating
that it had burdened the company with excessive debt,
jeopardizing the future that Gannet's Chief Communications Officer had
disagreed with the union's recommendation to vote against Reid.
