newspapers into outhouses
for its reporters and editors
It’s old news to those reading this BJ Alums blog from the PD
perspective but Prospect.org does an excellent job of detailing how the
Newhouse family’s Advance Publications nationally created a union-busting
template for media conglomerates.
At least 36,000 journalists and support staff have lost their jobs
during the coronavirus pandemic in America.
Newhouse's Advance eliminated every union job at Local 1 of the American
Newspaper Guild!
The PD went from more than 700 total members to NO Guild members. The
work was transferred to the scab Cleveland.com .
The Newhouse family brought in hired guns – some with actual
weapons -- to beat down union members at its newspapers all over America, much
like coal mine operators in West Virginia hired Pinkerton goons to
beat up, shoot and intimate United Mine Workers Union members in the 20th
century.
Newhouse is #1 in putting out the most newspaper people out of work
than any publisher in history.
When it comes to morality, John Knight had more on a pimple on his
ass than the entire Newhouse family.
JSK was a good businessman, but he was a great owner and editor
first.
This article has a lot of details about the horrid history of
Newhouse and its mistreatment of its editors and reporters.
