Gannett reporters did solid data journalism on pay gaps for women and JOC. They've made totally reasonable requests for pay equity + diversity.
This response from Gannett accuses ITS OWN journalists, essentially, of "fake news" and absolutely fails to address the pay gap.

@Gannett
issued a response to
@newsguild
and their misinformation campaign re: the ‘study’ of 14 out of our 250+ newsrooms. We address the facts that were not disclosed. Gannett is on a journey. We've been transparent about our goals.

There’s so much to be sad about today. This finally broke me. “The Media” are people who love freedom and who work to protect it every day. Messages like this are heartbreaking. But they are also reminders of why a free press must live on.

🥶May is currently running 6 degrees below normal, with an average temp of 49.7 🥶
That’s actually only the 9th-coldest start to May since 1945–but the coldest since 2002.
Warm Mays have become very common over the past decade. This year is a throwback May!

I'll never understand how newsroom managers/leaders can react so negatively to questions from their own journalists. Asking questions is the core function of our job. You hired us because we're good at it. Embrace accountability and transparency.

This is devastating. Cokie paved the way for women like me to cover politics. I never doubted that was possible because I grew up listening to her do it better than most. Thank you, Cokie.
BREAKING: Veteran journalist Cokie Roberts, one of NPR's longest-running and most recognizable voices, has died. She was 75.
Roberts helped shape the public broadcaster's sound and culture at a time when few women held prominent roles in journalism.

THIS is what happens when elected officials perpetuate unfounded conspiracy theories and/or fail to clearly disavow them. You provide cover for rotten people to attack others for doing their job - a job, in this case, that literally exists to preserve our freedom.
Today I got the most antisemitic hate email and only threatening email of my career. The man included his name and I found an SPLC profile of him so I alerted RCPD in case he follows through on his threats to me and the Rapid City Journal newsroom. He may be from Michigan. 1/x

The idea that education is not a "premier" beat in AZ, where...
- educators went on strike statewide
- they got raises to end it
- several related citizen initiatives have made the ballot AND won
- education committees are always FLOODED w/ bills + coverage,
is damn foolish.
Congrats on the move. But how much did
@mpolletta
abhor
@azcentral
to go from the premier beat at the state’s largest paper to the education beat? Answer: A LOT
