salon vs. slate vs. atlantic

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

the story notes several quick acknowledgments etc

it only mentioned that the guardian's was instantaneous but didn't say how long it took for gawker's to be acknowledged. just wondering if this is actually an unusual amount of time to wait

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?

aaaaah you fuckin guy

WGE and my org are jockeying for the same places, and hamno just gave their organizing committees a big WGE wink and a nudge

ha, crazy

hell ya

will union labor decrease the quality of Orange Is The New Black thinkpieces? A Vox explainer

i'm just glad it shook out right, this has been some bullshit

salon is an OG 90's-era west coast internet property; resistance to collective solidarity isn't surprising in the least

fucking rich technohippies

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

I mean a terrible miracle mostly

and lo on the seventh night the clickbait still burned

How to stop writing for The Atlantic

The piece that got him blackballed is pointless and vapid, ftr.

couldn't have happened to a more deserving writer imo

lol at him characterizing his incredibly nasty and smug remarks in that piece as "i mentioned in passing..."

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

I was trying to think of anything he'd written that I could remember reading prior to this - came up empty.

lol lol

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.

nooooooooooooooooooo!!!

lmao it was so good

surely if anything al-jazeera's imminent closure is what made it appropriate

anyway no right to be forgotten

salon about to become faintly ridiculous in a different way

Can't possibly be worse

oh sure it could!

i honestly can't tell the difference between slate and onion headlines anymore:

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2016/12/i_am_glad_the_harlem_deer_is_dead.html

that's really an all-time headline.

feels more clickhole tbh.

new slate website design is extremely ugly

The Atlantic, by a fair margin.

atm atlantic is the best of the 3 but they're all really bad i don't visit any regularly any more

pardon?

slate really should stop publishing anything

they're only good for dear prudence any more

Wow these three sites have been ILX’s collective punching bag. This thread is just seven years worth of bitching. Why is it every time a site gets redesigned everyone hates it?

i wouldn't have expected a white knight for salon, slate and the atlantic to appear at this hour and for that white knight to be mr. snrub

xp every redesign is a betrayal

it's sad, it was an american century
