From our president Susan DeCarava: "This legislation is vital to safeguard the public’s right to know what is being done in their name and is necessary to protect and expand the public’s trust, built by media workers across the country and in our union, in human-powered journalism."

We are proud to be among a coalition of unions backing the NY FAIR News Act. Readers and journalists need real protections against artificial intelligence! Read more about this bill here nyguild.org/post/fahy-ro...

Journalist Orgs outraged at arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort: ‘The First Amendment is not Optional.’ | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is outraged and deeply alarmed by the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort by federal agents.

ATTN: Today's arrests of Georgia Fort and Don Lemon are an escalation by this administration to criminalize press freedom under the guise of law enforcement.

The First Amendment is not optional, and journalism is NOT a crime. We demand their immediate release!

Over and not out: City Council approves bill guaranteeing press access to NYPD encrypted radio feed – amNewYork The New York City Council approved a bill Thursday that would require the NYPD to establish and implement a radio encryption policy that will ensure reporters

Journalists help keep New Yorkers safe!
Glad @council.nyc.gov nyc.gov is ensuring journalists maintain access to encrypted NYPD scanners so we can keep the public informed. It’s time for @governor.ny.gov to ensure the same for all New Yorkers across our great state.

www.amny.com/news/city-co...

Please share widely! Call or email @governor.ny.gov today and ask her to sign the Keep Police Radio Public act so journalists can continue to keep their communities informed about the events around them!

@governor.ny.gov, listen to NY journalists. We need you to pass the Keep Police Radio Public Act TODAY

And the reader has 100% discretion to replace ProPublica with other news sources.

You've done great work; it would be a shame if they were to replace it with AI, which can't even get simple facts right, despite having access to them.

Headline: ProPublica management wants 100% discretion over when and how to use AI Supplementary text: The organization rejected our proposal that ensures staff will not be replaced by AI and requires labeling AI-generated content

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

Sign the petition and tell @propublica.org management that @propublicaguild.org deserves a fair contract with AI protections. #NewsNotSlop actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

With the possibility of the police ultimately controlling the messaging and speed of transmissions, it clearly presents a disservice to the public. We strongly urge @governor.ny.gov
to sign this bill to protect New Yorkers and support a free press.

The “Keep Police Radio Public Act” would allow journalists to maintain real-time access to radio transmissions in the state. As of Wednesday, @governor.ny.gov has not signed the act and time is running out....

🧵Every day our members rely on access to police radio transmissions to respond quickly to shootings, fires, buildings collapses, natural disasters and other major emergencies so that they can quickly report on and share vital safety information to the public….
