Statement re @WSJ mgmt decision to terminate the employment of @selina_cheng. "IAPE calls on WSJ management to provide a full explanation for its decision to dismiss Selina and supports calls for Selina to be restored to her WSJ position."

Today I was fired from the Wall Street Journal. This is my statement:

Enough!

Today a significant majority of my colleagues at @MilitaryTimes and @defense_news filed to form @SightlineUnion We are dedicated and passionate about doing our jobs at a news organization that goes back 8 decades. We want to continue to do excellent work to keep these widely read and respected newsrooms going strong well into the future. The way to do this, we believe, is to come together in a union in order to continue to ensure this dedicated and hardworking group of some of the very best reporters in this business are rewarded fairly. @WBNG32035 @newsguild @CWAUnion

It’s Monday, March 11, 2024. WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by the FSB Mar 29, 2023. 348 DAYS AGO. FREE EVAN NOW! Journalism is not a crime! Almunus of NYT, The Moscow Times, & Agence France-Presse. #IStandWithEvan

#IStandWithEvan and thank you to @NatPress for giving @evangershkovich the Chairman’s Citation I was honored to accept on his behalf. A very, very worthy winner.

🧵More than 300 days ago, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia during a reporting trip. He remains in a Moscow prison. We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan wsj.com/Evan

Real news, real pay @RayLong kicks ass

Please share Evan’s reporting and the latest updates on his situation by visiting WSJ.com/Evan to help keep his story front and center.

To friends, Evan Gershkovich is a connector with an empathetic ear and self-deprecating humor. His wrongful detention has drawn them closer wsj.com/world/evan-gershkovi… via @WSJ

Happy bargaining day (to those who celebrate)! Today marks 170 days since @DowJones employees have gone without a fair contract. We deserve better!

Happy 32nd birthday to @evangershkovich Evan, a WSJ reporter and friend, has been an unjust prisoner in Russia for 211 days I miss you #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

Free press. #IStandwithEvan

That's 23 weeks. We are counting. #istandwithevan

The NLRB started sending out ballots today — and we’re keeping a close eye on our mailboxes so we can vote to join @iape1096! WSJ Photo Editors, get your pens ready! #hotlaborsummer

I’ve been happier. We write about inflation all the time. Did @NewsCorp think we wouldn't notice that they've cut the median @IAPE1096 member's real salary by 7% since 2019? $NWSA #IAPEStrong

We are together. #IStandwithEvan
