From last night's @semafor media newsletter: WaPo is meeting with candidates to run its opinion section
@NXSTMediaGroup management is on-site at The Hill’s offices in D.C. today -- we’re standing united outside the building demanding a fair contract! (P.S. We made more than enough copies to replace the fliers you keep tearing down 🙂)
I just signed a petition: Nexstar and The Hill: No Layoffs and a Fair Contract!. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/nexs… @hillguild @WBNG32035
@thehill's breaking news reporters are asked to write upward of half a dozen stories daily to drive traffic to the site for less than $50k/year. Throwing them under the bus is beyond disappointing @NXSTMediaGroup.
New: The Hill privately convinced the owners of Truth Social to drop it from a defamation lawsuit Trump's company filed against 20 news outlets over reporting an erroneous earnings figure. As part of the settlement, the Hill's owner agreed to fire one of its own journalists..
🟡 SCOOP: For the last year and a half, Truth Social has relentlessly pursued a defamation case against 19 media companies that flubbed a story about the platform’s earnings. But one outlet that misreported the story managed to quietly convince the owners of Trump’s conservative…

We will continue to fight for The Hill’s integrity, including the right for The Hill’s management to determine who gets to be part of this newsroom. 3/3
The Hill Guild rejects the idea that any cuts to the newsroom are financially necessary when Nexstar has reported record profits and The Hill’s web traffic continues to outpace its competitors. 2/3
Today, @NXSTMediaGroup conducted a series of layoffs of The Hill’s editors & supervisors. We are sincerely saddened to be losing members of this newsroom — every reporter, editor, video producer, event planner, regardless of union status, makes @thehill what it is. 1/3
The Hill is No. 1 because of dedicated, hardworking, talented reporters. @NXSTMediaGroup wants to get rid of 1/3 of those reporters and underpay those they keep. @hillguild is demanding change.
Spotted in @thehill: an entire page touting the company’s growth in a direct appeal to advertisers. Wonder if @NXSTMediaGroup has told them it’s planning to lay off nearly 30% of our newsroom?🧐
laying off 30% of the newsroom while raking in top profits?? #dontpoliticizethehill

Staffers at political news site The Hill ‘freaked out’ over layoff plan and editor’s possible departure | The Independent independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Bob Cusack is one of the most talented managers I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working for. I suspect Nexstar will ultimately reach the obvious conclusion: he and his team are indispensable. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
.@NXSTMediaGroup Nexstar had net rev of $1.37B in Q3 ’24. CEO Sook snagged $29.1M in ’23. There is no justifiable $ reason to propose layoffs @thehill + it is illegal to layoff unit folks w/t the status quo period. Disgusting way to treat your journalists bit.ly/4irVwyF
