WHAT CAN I DO? Go to the link below to write a quick letter to McClatchy executives, demanding they change course. Tell them to invest in Idaho and build a newsroom this great state is worthy of.

"I applaud these news organizations for pushing back immediately against Trump’s illegal behavior,” said @gaufre, the president of The NewsGuild-CWA. "This is yet again another shameful moment for our country."

It's been a little over a week since McClatchy's mass layoffs. I wrote about what's at stake when communities lose local journalists. McClatchy laid me off. The need for local journalism didn’t go with me. poynter.org/commentary/2026/…

This morning, Secret Service barred our own @PENGuild member Cheyenne Haslett from the White House simply for doing her job. Press access cannot be weaponized against journalists for their reporting. An attack on one outlet's ability to cover the White House is an attack on a free press for all of us. We stand with our member and every journalist targeted for doing their job.

On Sept. 10, The Kansas City Star's parent company McClatchy laid off six of our union members. These journalists have given their energy and empathy to The Star and its readers, and we want to give back to them. gofundme.com/f/support-laid-…

What does a company do before making draconian layoffs? If you're the suits at @McClatchy, you grow your already bloated bureaucracy. In an email today headlined "August New Hires," the company adds 9 to payroll: 3 Vice-Presidents and another 3 "Content Directors."
