The Washington Post Guild, the newsroom labor union, is going on strike for 24 hours. In a powerful video, the reporters talk proudly about the kinds of important stories they cover, showing you just how much the consumers of news stand to lose without the services of mainstream journalists:
Imagine living without…these…sorry, what were we talking about?
Meanwhile, on Substack:
The only journalism left is happening outside the “newsrooms.”
24 hours is way too short. They should strike for a least a month just to see if anyone notices!
The real reporting is happening here on Substack, by keen and stubborn observers such as yourself, Chris. Thank you.
