Journalists doing important work

This reader most certainly will notice the cuts in newsroom employees at Everett Herald, and any cuts made at South Whidbey Record and Whidbey News Times.

I have had the pleasure of working with several journalists at these papers. They are doing important work informing our communities on serious issues impacting them. In our troubled times, a reliable fact-based local news source is essential in educating our communities and pushing back against the tidal wave of disinformation from social media and news radio.

I support the Everett NewsGuild as they fight these layoffs and insist on bargaining with the union.
