The Rockford Newspaper Guild organized in 2013 to preserve quality journalism in northern Ill. that is threatened by corporate disinvestment in our newsrooms.

‘Nobody believes’ Gannett-GateHouse merger projections, Leon Cooperman says bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…


If RVC completes its due diligence and determines the Rockford Register Star News Tower would be too costly to redevelop, the college could walk away from the deal rrstar.com/news/20191022/…


GateHouse Media repeatedly has slashed staff. It has closed numerous papers. And now they don't want to pay overtime for low-wage workers golocalprov.com/news/projos-pa…


Rockford Newspaper Guild members were to receive our 1.75% raise on Oct. 1. And didn't because it was mid pay cycle and GateHouse couldn't update salaries halfway through. Please check your next paychecks. You should have raises, and backpay retroactive to Oct. 1, too.

Rockford Newspaper Guild members will be outside the Rockford Register Star today from noon to 1 p.m. to decry the continued layoffs and other cost-cutting measures. Certainly that slash-and-burn style will accelerate if the merger with Gannett occurs. Stop by. @PreserveLocalNews
