Another hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP — this one involuntarily via layoffs. Reporters in big cities and state capitols. People who’ve broken some of the biggest stories of our time and improved the public’s understanding of important issues. It’s heartbreaking.

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.

I still have a job, but I’m heartbroken over the loss of so many excellent colleagues both today and through the earlier buyouts.

A fun story inspired by my recent trip to New Zealand to visit my pen pal of 40 years. Dear Readers: Yes, pen pal programs still exist even in a digital world

Also, I’m pretty sure @laurent_peron in France also was my pen pal for a short time in 1989, so if you ever see this, let me know!

Today, 40 Associated Press guild-covered employees across the U.S. who accepted buyouts left the newsroom for the final time. We’ve been told layoffs will be coming, with no clear timeline.
In solidarity, our members in office, at home, and in the field wore their union red today.

“News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.”
AP Executive Editor Julie Pace affirmed the importance of “being on the ground” and “eyewitness journalism,” at this year’s Overseas Press Club Awards, all while AP guts its news staff by offering buyouts to more than 120 U.S. guild covered employees across multiple formats. How can AP be on the ground without us?
Who will witness the news?
ALT The whole page is a red background with a white border. The top has the logo for AP News Guild. Below the logo with white lettering, text reads: “News doesn’t reveal itself from a distance. It has to be witnessed.” -Julie Pace, Associated Press Executive Editor. Then there is a white bar through the page.

I have covered seven presidential primary cycles in New Hampshire. AP was there because I was there.

AP journalists in the U.S. are on the frontlines providing essential news coverage and documenting history each and every day.
AP was there because WE were there.
But more than 120 AP guild covered employees across the country were offered buyouts on April 6, and layoffs could be coming. And that makes the guild wonder, will AP be there for you in the future?
We need your help. Tell AP leadership to support the stories that matter and the people that cover them. Comment on stories you care about on apnews.com and on AP social media posts. Text AP’s Signal at 1 (202) 281-8604.

Police who arrested 3 Zizians on trespassing charges in Maryland a year ago quickly connected them to investigations elsewhere. But prosecuting members of the cult-like group that has been linked to six deaths in three states has been a slow process.
