NEW YORK –  Editorial workers at CNET and ZDNet are joining The NewsGuild of New York as members of the Ziff Davis Creators Guild (ZDCG).

Late last year, Ziff Davis acquired both websites, which cover technology, reviews and beyond. CNET and ZDNet workers will be covered under ZDCG’s current contract, ratified last summer.

NEW YORK – Unionized editorial staff at New York Magazine have reached a tentative agreement with the magazine and parent company Vox Media that includes double digit wage increases over the life of the contract, addresses serious health care and living costs, and protects members’ rights if the company decides to use artificial intelligence. The tentative agreement allows the company to avert a comprehensive work stoppage by members if a deal was not reached.

NEW YORK – The unionized workers of New York Magazine, represented by The NewsGuild of New York, have informed management that they are prepared to walk off the job unless they get a fair contract, including strong AI protections.
