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.

Reaction to today's announcement from the union that represents @EENewsUpdates and @politico newsroom employees:
Shuttering E&E News goes directly against what management told staff earlier this year, when our colleagues were asked to consider buyouts. A message from PEN Guild leadership 👇

Heard from a lot of loyal readers asking if we're OK this morning following news that @politico plans to kill the @EENewsUpdates brand. There's still a lot of questions. Here's what we've told management so far:

New: Politico is folding E&E, the energy trade publication it bought in 2020. The company says it is reorganizing its energy coverage under the Politico brand and launching a series of new state and global energy newsletters.

Standing in solidarity with these fabulous journalists. Our readers deserve news, not slop!
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica management refuses to compromise on core issues. We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect. Support us: gofundme.com/f/support-propu…

When will @politico leaders detail their new "vision" for the newsroom? How many times do @penguild members have to ask for this insight into their own jobs?
And yet, @politico management still hasn’t met our main demand: Articulating the vision that allegedly precipitated these buyouts. We warned management when they announced this move that we would lose talented colleagues if they didn’t explain their reasons for doing this. 4/4

At least 19 of our @EENewsUpdates @POLITICOProcolleagues have decided to take the buyout and leave us this week. It's no small amount. Not everyone was offered a buyout @politico. 1/4

What a day! Started bright and early (and cold!) with @ReutersGuild to tell all who would listen the importance of #NewsNotSlop
Today we braved the cold to share an important message with those heading in to attend today's session of #ReutersNext: We deserve a fair contract that includes AI job protections. We stand for people-powered journalism. #NewsNotSlop
