A huge thank you to all our supporters! We couldn’t have done this without our communities and those who care about the longevity of journalism.

UPDATE: The Schneps Union has an election date but we are continuing to fight for our six colleagues whom management has tried to exclude from the unit in bad faith! Reminder that leadership can voluntarily choose to recognize our FULL unit and start the bargaining at any point.
We are pleased to announce that we were able to come to an agreement to hold an NLRB election on July 24th. We’re looking forward to winning recognition with our overwhelming majority of support and continuing to fight for our colleagues! #SchnepsUnion

Our election on July 24 will affirm what we already know -- that we will overwhelmingly approve this union effort 🙌🏽

Yes! @BrooklynPaper reporters are out in the field every single day telling our borough’s story, they deserve the stability and dignity that only unionization can deliver. ✊🏾✊🏾
In recent years, Schneps Media has built the biggest local-news empire in the NYC metro area. But it's paying its journalists so poorly they say they can barely afford grocerices. This morning, journalists across Schneps publications announced they're unionizing.

Unionized journalists across North America have come together to sound the alarm: Media companies are implementing AI in ways that damage the credibility of the journalism on which you rely. Stand with journalists and demand news, not slop! actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Media companies are undermining public trust with unethical AI in newsrooms. We’re proud to join @newsguild in sounding the alarm! Join the #NewsNotSlop campaign and help us kick off a Week of Action on AI, Dec. 1–5. This fight is going to take all of us! newsnotslop.org/

A neutral arbiter agrees: @politico violated our contract and its own journalistic standards when it deployed AI. Our readers deserve news, not slop! wbng.org/2025/12/01/pen-guil…

🚨 VICTORY: A federal court barred DHS from brutalizing journalists, legal observers & protesters in SoCal. Judge Vera: “The First Amendment demands better.” Journalists must be protected—not met with violence. @ACLU_SoCal @LAPressClub newsguild.org/victory-dhs-ba…
