Publicly available documents and news stories refute nearly every major claim in Freeman’s letter, which contains numerous distortions, misrepresentations, and patently false claims. Independent Journalism Mr. Freeman writes (¶ 2) that MNG Enterprises is “committed to ensuring communities across the country are served by robust, independently minded local journalism.” The fact that layoffs at MNG are twice the average in the news industry is a strange take on robust journalism and does not offer much comfort to those communities. Layoffs and furloughs have continued into the pandemic.1 NewsGuild-CWA takes issue with Freeman’s assertions of “independently minded local journalism” (¶ 3). One Colorado editor, Dave Krieger, was fired after publishing a column critical of Alden Global Capital on his own blog. At The Denver Post, opinion page editor Chuck Plunkett said he resigned because management wouldn’t let him keep publishing editorials critical of Alden’s impact on local news. Meanwhile, reporters in Kingston, NY, have been warned not to write about Alden.2 Mr.
