I& #39;m heartbroken. Lee Enterprises laid off nine of my colleagues today.

Communities outside big cities deserve great journalism, and that can& #39;t be provided when companies continue to erode newsrooms. The people of Western Virginia deserve better than this.
Claire started at The Roanoke Times at the start of the pandemic and hasn& #39;t missed a beat. On top of that, she broke the story about racism allegations at VMI — she remained humble while a national newspaper followed up on it and accepted the accolades. https://twitter.com/c_mitzel/status/1381614741379035137?s=20">https://twitter.com/c_mitzel/...
Unionize your newsroom. Had it not been for @TimeslandGuild, Lee Enterprises probably would have cut off my colleagues& #39; health insurance today. We also were able to delay layoffs for a while.

Journalists deserve protections and to be treated fairly by their employers.
