    This is 1000 percent true. I’m guessing most outlets won’t survive this without subscriber support. It’s 95 cents:

    Don’t let the soaring online audience numbers fool you. Coronavirus is a disaster for the economy and it will be a disaster for many newsrooms, too. Please pay for local news if you can, or there won’t be any local news at all.

    Stop what you’re doing and read this important, heartfelt story by my amazing colleague. Thank you for sharing this .

    Yesterday marked one month since my dad died from cancer. I wrote about what it has been like to grieve my own personal loss amid a pandemic — and how I have a small, unfortunate window into the pain we are all trying to help other families avoid.

    When people say that "the media" wanted to create a recession/depression from our coverage, maybe tell them that the great recession of 2008 cost our industry over 20k jobs.

    Sounds like in the middle of unprecedented challenges, when our society needs its news gatherers more than ever, the has decided to lay off some of its best. An absolute disgrace.

    So damn proud to be a part of the family. Our newsroom responds to crisis after crisis with bravery and poise. Our journalists will always find a way to tell the story.

    For the first time in our 155-year history, we shuttered The Chronicle’s newsroom. But it has not slowed down our journalists. Editor in chief on how The Chronicle is covering the coronavirus pandemic:

    Let me tell you about The Media™ The Media does not sleep a lot. The Media wants to keep you informed 24/7 and would rather be tired than have you missing critical information. The Media eats erratically and standing up because we would rather be there to take that call.
