Greetings to all of you on this Labor Day 2010.
This week, the Indianapolis News Guild will distribute new signs that we hope you will all hang/showcase/display, on your desks.
The sign says “Keep it Local” … and this will kick off our publicity campaign against the Gannett hub concept that threatens to break apart our newsroom. We believe that consolidated hubs are a mistake and that the best way for journalists to serve readers is by having journalism done locally.
Similar outreach efforts are being coordinated or are planned this week at the other Gannett properties that have unions including Rochester, St. Louis and Detroit and Sheboygan.
Attached is a copy of our flier — locally produced, of course, by one of our expert designers. They’ll match in color and attitude our desk tents and lanyards.
We hope all of you will participate with us.
In solidarity,
The Indy News Guild leadership team
