'Don't use my skin for your diversity': Labor union blasts newsrooms for underpaying women and people of color
CNN
NewsGuild, a labor union that represents thousands of journalists, released on Tuesday a small study of 14 unionized newsrooms owned by media conglomerate Gannett.
"Some reporters with advanced degrees earn less than $20 per hour. How are people supposed to live on that?" "I am alarmed by the lack of mid-career female representation in our newsrooms and the dismal retention of female reporting talent. I can't help but worry that I will become one of those vanishing statistics."Senate Democrats have confirmed some of President Joe Biden’s picks for the federal bench this week in the face of President-elect Donald Trump’s calls for a total GOP blockade of judicial nominations – in part because several Republicans involved with the Trump transition process have been missing votes.
Donald Trump is considering a right-wing media personality and people who have served on his US Secret Service detail to run the agency that has been plagued by its failure to preempt two alleged assassination attempts on Trump this summer, sources familiar with the president-elect’s thinking tell CNN.
