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.

With Axel Springer eying conservative media assets and Mathias Döpfner amplifying his own views, Politico staffers are concerned about editorial independence, as its parent company’s ambitions come into focus

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.

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

Today, unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality and accuracy of our journalism.

This, after @BusinessInsider laid off 25 % of staff in May. We stand in solidarity with @InsiderUnion. Readers deserve #newsnotslop

In a note to staff, Business Insider EIC Jamie Heller says the publication is launching a pilot program called Business Insider AI News Desk that will use AI to “help publish quick news stories.”
Several stories a day will now be “created by AI and edited by a person.”

That’s why union journalists won’t let AI take over your news sources. We are having a rally at 1pm ET tomorrow to protest Business Insider’s AI newsbot. JOIN US (5/5)
