Get a shirt to support local journalism via Jupmode and the Press Club of Toledo! Despite our management's latests efforts to slash costs as we move from our historical building, we're here for good. https://toledopressclub.com/2026/03/press-club-of-toledo-is-here-for-good/

Thank you to all who showed up to give our building the sendoff it deserves after serving us for 99 years!

On Wednesday, March 11, at 5 p.m., the Toledo NewsGuild invites you to a celebration of life for our dearly departed building.

After, we'll head to Earnest Brew Works on Central to commiserate over the preventable and foreseeable death of one of Toledo’s most iconic buildings.

For nearly — but not quite — one hundred years, N. Superior St. housed generations of Blade employees. Let’s give her the send off she deserves.

It's about time that the company took the safety concerns of its employees seriously. Tragically, the company allowed a building of such historical significance to Toledo to fall into extreme disrepair.

Block Communications, the parent company of The Blade in Toledo whose employees are represented by NewsGuild/CWA Local 34043, announced Wednesday the closure of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after a string of court rulings that shot down BCI's unfair labor practices in Pittsburgh.

The Toledo NewsGuild issues the following statement in response and fully supports colleagues in Pittsburgh, both at the Post-Gazette and the recently shuttered City Paper, also owned by BCI:

Huge victory for our union siblings in Pittsburgh after three years on strike! We're cheering for you from Toledo, and are inspired by your fortitude against the union-busting tactics of the Blocks. It makes us more determined in holding the Blocks accountable in our community.

Great being able to get together as a union late last week to watch The Paper, which is set at a fictional newspaper in Toledo. The Blade was scouted by folks behind the show early on in their research process.

Happy Labor Day from the Toledo NewsGuild! We had a great time taking part in the parade today with the other unions that keep Toledo going in all kinds of industries.

Congratulations to the Toledo Firefighters Local 92 their new contract last month. Toledo is better with union workers getting respect and dignity at work, and we're safer with union firefighters. We wonder if wannabe union-busting managing editor Mike Brice congratulated his firefighter son on the well-deserved contract win.

Great food and camaraderie at our guild picnic yesterday at Glass City Metropark!

We’re thrilled about The Paper! We noticed though that while the show’s writers had visited our newsroom for research, they missed a detail. The office in the promotional is clearly loosely based on ours. It’s missing the dingy feel and leaky ceiling that we’re familiar with.
