@baltsunguild
We are the reporters, photographers, designers and sales reps of The Baltimore Sun Guild. Too scrappy to silence. Inquiries: [email protected].
- The Letter to the Editor that the Baltimore Sun won't publish:
- The Baltimore Sun dissolved its features department Monday, reassigning its staff to news departments – the first time since at least 1888 the newspaper won’t have even one reporter dedicated to covering the city’s cultural life.
- STATEMENT FROM THE BALTIMORE SUN GUILD 🧵 Within the past few weeks — without notifying the dedicated journalists of the Baltimore Sun Guild — The Sun began publishing articles from Fox45, a TV station within Sinclair Broadcast Group, owned by Sun co-owner David Smith. (1/9)
- NEW: The Baltimore Sun Guild’s news members are launching a seven-day byline strike, from Nov. 3 to Nov. 10, including Election Day, citing sliding journalistic standards and union-busting proposals raised by management at the bargaining table.
- For too long @baltimoresun has been effectively cutting our pay and refusing to reward us for great work. As we prepare to bargain a new contract, we demand @tribpub raise our pay.
- A full statement from the Baltimore Sun Guild regarding the firing of a member this week:
- The @baltimoresun and its media group are returning to local owners. baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz…
- Replying to @baltsunguildThe Guild is devastated for the chefs, artists, musicians and business owners who are no longer considered worthy of coverage by their hometown newspaper.
- Replying to @baltsunguildThese draconian measures are demoralizing, but they won’t deter the Sun journalists. In the past 2 months, 8 union reporters have resigned. One was fired for speaking out, which the Guild has challenged. The Sun also laid off 3 union-represented advertising employees.
- The Baltimore Sun Guild is out to lunch today in protest of the shameful, unjust firing of our coworker earlier this month. We stand with @MaddiONeill and against the sliding journalism and workplace standards that have come about under new ownership.
- 🚨🚨We've just begun contract negotiations w/ @tribpub seeking fair wages for @baltimoresun employees, many of whom have taken home less & less in recent years w inflation & no cost of living increases. "If journalism matters this company should pay for it," says chair @ssdance.
