HeadlineJan 19, 2024

In California, unionized staff at the Los Angeles Times are holding a one-day, multi-city walkout today to protest massive planned job cuts. It’s the first-ever newsroom work stoppage in the history of the L.A. Times. Over 100 journalists, or about 20% of the newsroom, are reportedly at risk of losing their jobs. This comes less than a year after the paper cut 74 newsroom jobs. The L.A. Times is owned by billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.
