Testimonials

Miguel Salazar

The New York Times

"I’m inspired to be part of a community working tirelessly on issues ranging from pay equity to job retention, newsroom diversity, and much more. There's always work to be done, but the media industry is becoming more equitable because of the NewsGuild. I'm deeply proud to be a member."

Amanda Hess

The New York Times

"At a time when the media is under attack, it's easy to pit journalists against one another, so unions are more important than ever. Being in a union has brought me closer to my colleagues, given me a voice in the company that I work for, and allowed me to find common cause with journalists across the industry to uplift all of us."

Tate James

NBC News Digital

"Unionizing with the Guild not only protects your coworkers, it provides a roadmap for the next workplace to use in their own organizing. A strong Guild raises the standards and expectations of the entire industry, one newsroom at a time." (bottom left)

Natalie Meade

The New Yorker

"Having the Guild at The New Yorker has been instrumental for achieving equality in our workplace. It's been rewarding work advocating for our members, and I feel extremely lucky to have representation considering these precarious times."

Jeremy Allen

The New York Times

"Anyone who knows me knows how much I credit my professional happiness to the Guild. Historically, the union has provided my shop with a set of unique protections and working standards that I have never before experienced in my career. Today, the Guild is more diverse and dynamic than ever, defending the rights and freedoms of journalists across the region at a time when we need it most. It's a game-changer."   

Juan Carlos Rodriguez

"I'm proud to be a NewsGuild member because I love and believe in journalism, and I know that one of the best ways to keep our profession strong is to stand together and fight for what is best for us in our workplaces — and the Guild is the way to do that! It’s gratifying to see so many new members join us, and to watch our union grow and evolve to meet the challenges of today’s industry."

"A union means you always have a team of colleagues watching your back, so you can stay focused on the work and the stories that make great journalism."

We are outraged by Business Insider management’s decision to lay off more than 20 of our non-Guild coworkers on the Product & Technology team Thursday. These talented coworkers keep our website and app running, ensure we’re working with the best data in the business, assist with our video and subscription strategies, and come up with new, effective ways to highlight the amazing written journalism here. This loss is a gut punch to our culture, company, and reader experience.

The Reviewed Union is one of more than 50 Gannett bargaining units represented by The NewsGuild-CWA.

The NewsGuild-CWA represents more than 50 Gannett bargaining units, covering more than 1,000 employees.
