BREAKING: The Idaho Statesman’s hedge fund owner now admits it chose to gut its newspapers to reinvest resources elsewhere, contradicting earlier claims about financial struggles. Tell McClatchy executives you won’t stand for this devastating choice for our community. Here's what to know:

We know your community — because it's ours too. Because of a decision made by corporate executives, there will soon be no one to tell you what's going on with education, transportation & so much more. And our journalists will soon be out of work. Here's how you can help them:

10 Idaho Statesman reporters — more than half the staff — were laid off Thursday by McClatchy Media, our hedge-fund-backed owner. Sadly, many don’t have large savings to sustain them while looking for new positions. Please consider donating to help reporters cover their bills. Any amount helps!

They cut more than half of the reporting staff at Idaho's (previously) largest newspaper, including several of the best journalists in the industry. So if you're a hiring manager, scoop them up as fast as you can.

The Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild is shocked and disappointed by McClatchy’s decision to lay off 33% of its unionized workers at the Idaho Statesman, The News Tribune (Tacoma), Tri-City Herald, The Olympian and Bellingham Herald. This includes 10 journalists in Idaho, and seven across Washington

Bad-faith bargaining is bad for business. After we went on strike, a major advertiser halted ad buys in solidarity. We are asking others to do the same until McClatchy Media comes to the table with a fair offer.

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

Unionized journalists at the Sacramento Bee stand united against McClatchy’s latest AI “articles” initiative. We have withheld our bylines from these stories because we do not want the public to think this is being done in our name — it’s not. We think it’s disgusting.

Tony's executive team is asking us to produce 20-50% more work, but won't provide annual raises consistent with inflation. We lose money the longer we work here. While Tony serves on the United Way board, the very same organization suggests 75% of his PNW reporters earn less than a stable income.
