ALT "The Post-Gazette newsroom currently stands around 100. The new iteration of the PG going forward might need to start out smaller, Mr. Bainum said. “The Post-Gazette’s current business model does not support the size of the current newsroom,” he said. “We’re going to have to thoughtfully address that. “We’re learning as we go, so we certainly don’t have all the answers,” he said."
ALT This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.
ALT Graphic announcing that NiemanLab reported Politico management violated AI adoption safeguards. Large text reads: “NewsGuild Journalists won their AI arbitration against POLITICO… but why does that matter?” Below is a red button stating “Let’s talk about it.” At the bottom are the logos for The NewsGuild and “News Not Slop.”
ALT Graphic explaining the significance of the AI arbitration ruling. Section heading reads: “The ruling marks one of the first major tests of an AI clause in a newsroom union contract.” Social media screenshots quote PEN Guild posts discussing Politico’s use of AI tools and emphasizing that AI isn’t held to human editorial standards. Large red box states that NewsGuild journalists fought for AI protections because robots are not subject to the same editorial rigor.
ALT Graphic stating that the Politico arbitration proves union contracts protect workers from unethical AI implementation. A large quote from the US Congressional Research Service notes that no broad federal AI regulatory framework exists. Text below explains that government hasn’t caught up to regulating AI, leaving workers vulnerable to cost-cutting by employers.
ALT Graphic with heading “This is a blueprint for workers everywhere.” Text explains that strong contract language on AI at Politico sets a model for all industries facing unregulated AI. Another line reads: “If workers can enforce AI protections here, we can enforce them anywhere.” Below is a photo of a woman holding a megaphone at a labor rally, and a “News Not Slop” block inviting viewers to sign a petition.
