    For Immediate Release: March 17, 2020 Contact: Henri Gendreau Cell: (206) 619-6704 Journalists of The Roanoke Times to form a union ROANOKE, Va. — Journalists and staff at The Roanoke Times on Tuesday announced plans to unionize as the Timesland News Guild. More than 75 percent of the newsroom — reporters, photographers, graphic artists, copy and online editors, designers and support staff — has signed cards authorizing union representation by The NewsGuild, a sector of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Unionization among news media workers has surged in recent years. Yet the Timesland News Guild is the first to seek to form a union under Lee Enterprises since the company announced in January that it would take over 30 daily papers from Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Media Group. The deal closed Monday. Lee had been managing BH Media’s papers since July 2018. Reliable local news is more vital now than ever. As manager, Lee has already shrunk the size of The Roanoke Times print edition and converted full-time copy editing jobs to part-time, depriving employees of benefits and hurting the quality of our journalism. Prior to the sale this week, BH Media reduced sports and crime coverage, and eliminated or reduced beats dedicated to technology, arts and food. Overall, these far-off corporations have slashed our newsroom by about half over the past six years. Corporate decision-making has hamstrung our circulation colleagues, leading to issues with deliveries, canceled subscriptions and declining revenues. The Timesland News Guild is asking Lee to voluntarily recognize the guild and begin bargaining.
