i dont know where to put this, but here'll do
In 2011, when Isaac Lee, president of news for Univision, set out to persuade his company and Disney to back Fusion, a digital news service and cable channel he wanted to start, he promised nothing less than the holy grail: young viewers for the older media conglomerates.He played a slide show in which a middle-aged white man transformed into a young brown woman. The executives present were dazzled.

on salon not recognizing their writers' unionization acceptance yet
would be hilarious if they dropped them all
not hilarious for humanity of course
but still

wow did salon management not consider how hypocritical this was going to look considering that their primary beat is left-wing outrage?

is it normal for unions to form instantly after voting? (genuine question, wondering if there is some intermediary negotiation phase between vote and actually having union)

they have to register w/ the larger union they're joining (in this case Writers Guild East) but it doesn't sound like that is what is holding it up

unfortunately probably not

can confirm this is mgmt stonewalling plain and simple, like if they stick their fingers in their ears it will just go away--they may be preparing to force an NLRB certified election, where they'd have the opportunity to undermine WGE.

The Huffington Post is a progressive news site. It is only a matter of time before some of their employees ask to unionize. Will Arianna Huffington, a good liberal, support their request?Buzzfeed has publicly stated its commitment to a variety of progressive ideals. It is only a matter of time before some of its employees ask to unionize. Will Ben Smith and Jonah Peretti support their request?

salon can't have that much money, maybe at one point when it was the future of journalism, today it's a miracle it's still around

anything that means less of his shitty and worthless writing on the internet is a good development

Al Jazeera America has removed the satirical piece originally posted on this link, which included commentary on our company that we believe was not appropriate given its imminent closure.
