The largest daily newspaper in Hawaii is reportedly making deep cuts to its newsroom staff, eliminating many positions and reducing the staff's size by almost half
Honolulu Civil Beat reported that the paper will cut 31 positions across several departments, around half of the roughly 60 employees currently working for the Star Advertiser. The announcement reportedly comes after months of negotiations between the company's owners and the Pacific Media Workers Guild, a union representing journalists at the newspaper.
"There are ways through this, not only short term but long term, that are viable options," said Michael Applegate, the union's executive officer, in a statement to Civil Beat. "The company is either posturing to get us to agree to what they want or don't really have the interests of workers in mind and they're planning to do these layoffs anyway."
The newspaper's health reporter, Kristen Consillio, who has covered the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Hawaii, is among the reporters whose jobs have been cut, according to Civil Beat. She confirmed the layoffs in an Instagram post, noting that they included 29 "newsroom positions."

Pay phones that spout leftist garbage and insult white people. :-(
““Meaningful journalism that educates, enlightens and inspires to affect positive change in our society has been my passion for nearly 20 years as a Hawaii news reporter,” Consillio said. “It has been a privilege and blessing to serve the community I love.””
i think i see the problem: there’s nothing in that statement about actual news reporting ...
Hell yeah. Some good news.
“The company is either posturing to get us to agree to what they want or don’t really have the interests of workers in mind and they’re planning to do these layoffs anyway.”
Start your own paper then. Make it like a commune.
“enlightens and inspires to affect positive change in our society”
Effect, not affect, you idiot.
All of them should learn to code.

Good. Since we were confined to home, we didn’t go out to buy papers. I hope they go bankrupt, except for the NY Post, Boston Herald, and WSJournal.
Mele Kalikimaka!
Learn to code...
