Chicago Public Media says they want to reach diverse audiences, but cut the people who make these programs. Cut corporate greed and save WBEZ and Vocalo Radio 91.1 instead! actionnetwork.org/forms/099c98ca…

The move to terminate nearly 15% of 62 unionized content creators at WBEZ and four people at the Chicago Sun-Times comes amid declining fundraising, listenership and philanthropic support. wbez.org/stories/chicag…

As Dave McKinney reports, Matt Moog 'is a lame-duck CEO now overseeing those layoffs that he said wouldn’t happen,' and they come after he took a nearly 19% pay bump to put him at $633,310 a year. wbez.org/stories/chicag…

This is utterly heartbreaking. I am thinking of so many great journalists, projects, shows and full hearts that made that station a home to the values and craft that draw us all to this work.

Sun-Times Guild leadership is disturbed by the layoffs of nine of our We Make WBEZ + Vocalo siblings and five non-union colleagues at the Sun-Times and WBEZ.

We are demanding financial transparency from the Chicago Public Media board and management about the future of the organization.

I love the Chicago Sun-Times. It was the paper I read religiously in college. It made me understand local politics in a way that didn’t feel like a chore. And I felt like I won the lottery when I got a job there way back in 2011. And more importantly, I made lifelong friends.
