Proud to stand up to
#GannettGreed
with this group of News-Press and Naples Daily News journalists! Spent the morning of our
@Gannett
walkout cleaning up trash and debris on Bonita beach. Tomorrow, it’s back to work, even though we still don’t have a contract.
It’s time for
@Gannett
to show it supports local journalism in Southwest Florida. On Monday, we are walking out because we are committed to getting a fair contract that will actually allow our journalists to afford to live in the communities whose stories they’ve chosen to tell.
The Naples Daily News and The News-Press are walking out!
On Monday, journalists at our papers will hold a one-day strike. We have spent years trying to get a fair contract from Gannett, as executives hollowed out local newsrooms across the US.
Two years in a row for

Instead of reinvesting in our newsrooms and hiring more journalists to tell these stories, Gannett chose to invest in lawyers who’ve spent 3 years cashing company checks and slow walking our contract negotiations. Enough is enough.

When we formed the SWFL News Guild in 2020, we had 47 member journalists at The News-Press and Naples Daily News. Today we have 26. That’s 21 fewer journalists to investigate wrongdoing, explain local government decisions, celebrate sporting success.
