- Reposted by Idaho News GuildMcClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters. Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.
- AI has a place. Publishing misinformation and calling it local news ain’t it. Share this story and follow this account to hold the Idaho Statesman accountable for its sloppy AI use. boisedev.com/news/2026/01...
- Reposted by Idaho News GuildNewspaper conglomerate McClatchy—the hedge fund-owned publisher that owns local outlets across the country—wants to *aggressively* implement A.I. into its newsrooms, w/proposals that have stunned the union. @nataliekorach.bsky.social has the scoop in @status.news: www.status.news/p/mcclatchy-...

- Reposted by Idaho News GuildReporters can do what AI can’t. But McClatchy Media refuses to agree to ethical guidelines on its AI usage. With your support, we can ensure your local news is done by local reporters like these. @idwanewsguilds.bsky.social @idahonewsguild.bsky.social

- Reposted by Idaho News GuildSix months into negotiations, McClatchy Media is continuing to push back against common sense limits on AI in news. If we don't ensure AI ethics are put in place now, it will soon be too late. If reporters don't fight for transparency for our readers, no one will.

- Reposted by Idaho News GuildAs of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

- Let’s get clickbait out of local news. Learn about how our regional reporters are fighting against story quotas at McClatchy Media. 🧵 Check out our video below to see local stories that took time and effort — the way our readers deserve. 👇
- We are a group of Idaho and Washington journalists, and our publishing company, McClatchy, wants the ability to punish us for not meeting arbitrary story quotas. That means the stories will be shorter and worse, as quantity is prioritized over quality.
