Whether born and raised here, or calling Evansville home thanks to their job, we are here everyday working to tell the stories of our fellow Hoosiers. You can find us at school board meetings, court hearings, city council and on the sidelines of countless high school and college sporting events. We want to make sure that doesn’t change. The Courier & Press has been the paper of record for 178 year
s. A lot has changed in that time, and a multitude of changes has come since 2016 when the newspaper was bought by Gannett. We have watched friends leave the profession because of those changes, and we’ve watched even more be forced out even as they weather everything the company throws at them. The newsroom is a fraction of its former size, but the care and effort of each of us still there has not diminished. Tired of working the hours of three journalists to cover beats that once had a dedicated reporter. Tired of being told there are no new hires coming or raises to be had. We want to keep telling the stories of our community, so we’re fighting. Every member of our newsroom deserves respect and fair wages. We ask that our parent company, Gannett, voluntarily recognize our union. And we also ask our readers and fellow community members to support us in this effort. This union is for the future of journalism in Evansville.
