How exactly does management expect to make good on this promise when we don’t have a politics OR metro editor and no beat reporters to cover Albany, housing, immigration or the White House?

Alden Global Capital Makes a Play for The Dallas Morning News

Heath Freeman and his private equity goons are trying to buy yet another paper β€” with money we've been demanding go towards LIVING WAGES for the employees they already have.

This was the point of our rally last week: the money for a fair contract is there.

ICYMI: It took @nydailynews.com management less than a day and half to β€œwrite” their op-ed blasting us but took more than three days for them to do anything concrete to address Mayor Adams’ blocking @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social from pressers. Management’s priority: union-busting, not a free press.

"Even understaffed, under-resourced and without a physical newsroom (Alden got rid of it in 2021), the Daily News routinely breaks crucial local news stories and provides the old-school in-depth local coverage the city has relied on for over a century"

@nygroove.nyc on our ongoing contract fight:

Alden hasn't paid for enough editors at the Daily News for a while now, so we're used to this.

WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @nydailynews.com management, who felt compelled to β€œwrite” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…

β€œWe want a contract to continue the mission, to keep this engine of democracy working, to tell the stories of this great city. That’s the least they can do.”

Legendary street reporter Kerry Burke at our rally yesterday: β€œ[Alden president] Heath Freeman, he listed a mansion in Montauk for $27.5 million. We’re not asking for Montauk mansion money, we’re asking for living wages.”

Nos unimos a nuestros amigos de @nydnunion.bsky.social para denunciar lo obvio: las grandes firmas de capital no deberΓ­an desmantelar nuestra prensa local para obtener ganancias miserables.

We rallied with our friends at @nydnunion.bsky.social to call out the obvious: big venture capital firms should not be stripping our local press to make a measly profit.

This will be the strongest showing of support by elected officials since Alden began gobbling up papers.

🧡 @nydailynews.com executive editor Andrew Julien has been absent as a newsroom leader, allowing predatory hedge fund Alden Global Capital to drain newsroom resources and undermine @nydnunion.bsky.social's ability to cover the city. Our members have been out spreading the word.....

Our search for Andrew continued recently at Yankee Stadium…

If you find Andrew (maybe at Citi Field!) tell him the Daily News deserves a fair contract: t.co/LZ8ZhykpUq
