Reporters at my old paper staged a one-day strike on Tuesday, part of the nationwide outrage at Gannett.

I was fortunate enough to never have been involved in labor issues.

Aside, I'll add this: I can tell by reading stories those that are barely edited. It's more and more. There are still a good layer of good editors at papers like the WP and NYT, but others have slashed editing functions. Even at the Los Angeles Times, the publicist made a point of saying "no creative positions" were cut, just news editors, copy editors and others.

Editing is a creative activity. And it's being lost.
