I love
@AP

@AP
as it covered the war in Korea. We understand the sacrifices it takes to report news, it’s a public service and we’re proud of our ability to inform the public with facts. 1/2
We don’t expect star level salaries, but we do expect salaries and benefits that reflect respect for what we do. And we’re not seeing that. I bring my personal laptop to court hearings to save the battery on my work laptop in an aging building with few outlets. 2/2
The amazing
@steffdaz
organized an impromptu press complaint when reporters were not allowed into arraignment of Ohtani’s former interpreter. And she won.
🚨 The chief judge for
@cacd_news
has responded to
@AP
/ media's complaint in US v. Mizuhara, saying there was a "miscommunication" in denying press access to the duty courtroom. The Court will work with
@USMarshalsHQ
"to ensure this unfortunate event is not repeated."
Our
@APNewsGuild
negotiators are back at the table telling
@AP
we won't agree to a 2% raise (thumbs down to the proposal). The company exceeded revenue goals this year.
Award-winning journalism isn’t cheap.

Our members in expensive cities like New York, Washington, Los Angeles & San Francisco get an economic differential.
We want
@AP
to add Seattle, Miami, Sacramento & Portland, Oregon.
Our members there cover the high cost of living -- but can barely afford to live there.

@AP
wants to cut our ~already small~ night/weekend differential.
It's a tiny amount that rewards our staffers -- many of whom are sports reporters + photographers -- for working the worst hours.

I asked
@JuliePace
to disclose her salary during an
@AP
town hall recently.
Her response was along the lines of ... well, I don't ask you for yours.
Our
@APNewsGuild
contract sets our salary minimums publicly, and we're pretty loud about how little we're paid.

Teachers, aides and bus drivers help rescue students in Northern California from a fast-moving wildfire that is the state's most destructive blaze since record-keeping began.

: The city’s elite, in their finery, hop-scotched over human effluvia and over sleeping men and women to attend today’s grilled chicken-with-pita bread-and-dolmas-and-tabouleh-and-hummus-in a red cabbage bowl event.
I grew up in a town of five hundred people. On Halloween, I visited half of them and filled my pillow case. It was Minnesota, so there were always some do gooders who gave out raisins, etc. Worst ever was unripe pear slices in a baggie. Your worst-ever treat?
