From a story on niemanreports.org by Steven Greenhouse headlined “Newsrooms Are Unionizing Pretty Much ‘Nonstop.’ Here’s Why”:
Mike Kelly has worked at The Record for 46 years, and until Gannett acquired the New Jersey newspaper in 2016, he saw little need for a union.
But that changed once Gannett arrived. Kelly, a columnist for The Record, says Gannett chopped the newsroom’s staff from 190 in 2016 to 100 today and fired many of his fellow journalists in demeaning, callous ways.
