L.A. Times, Washington Post see subscription cancellations over not endorsing in presidential race

The Washington Post has lost about 8% of its readers and the L.A. Times 1.8%. But some argue to stay with the newspapers for their roles in reality checking Donald Trump.

Ended a call with my editor and another reporter short today to participate in a lunch walk-out today in protest of mgmt refusing to give our laid off colleagues the severance they deserve. It's simple. honor the contract. Pay our colleagues the severance they're owed.

My former colleagues like James are going to BAT for me and others who got laid off in January. L.A. Times management is trying to cheat us out of thousands of dollars in severance. Grateful to James and @latguild for continuing to fight for us

Taking a break in solidarity with my @latguild colleagues. Our managers refuse to honor a deal they made and are trying to avoid paying the full severance they owe our laid off colleagues. When we pointed this out -- a manager implied we could face more job cuts.

What the mass L.A. Times layoffs just told us about the future of journalism

Even large news outlets can’t avoid the economic reality that news is dying and that journalists of color likely will be hurt the most.

Out here with @latguild observing bargaining after the layoffs — and still getting work done — even as our managers keep sending security personnel to sweep the floor and keep an eye on us. It’s their right, but not exactly a sign some leaders want to work collaboratively!
