Gannett CEO Michael Reed criticizes the NewsGuild, accusing them of dishonesty and playing dirty with employees. Reed denies collusion with McClatchy on terminating an AP deal. He claims Gannett is almost done with job cuts and has hired 500 people in the last year.
“Reed said Gannett is "near the end" with sweeping job cuts and claimed the company has hired 500 people in the last 12 months.” #MediaRevenue https://t.co/nYG40q6UAS
Happy “yelling at my employees while denying collusion with McClatchy” day to Mike Reed, who may have destroyed more journalism jobs than any human being who has ever lived. https://t.co/KJ5Qix7HZR https://t.co/sV8kIlT20x
Gannett CEO Mike Reed thinks the NewsGuild “lies” about his corporate leadership. I’m happy to point everybody back to what his own company has disclosed about his role in the death of local journalism jobs: https://t.co/ME0bBi6Sti
"I think the Guild, unfortunately, plays dirty and lies to our employees," Gannett CEO Michael Reed said. His comments — hotly disputed by union officials — are perhaps the strongest on record by a major media executive about dealing with union activity. https://t.co/2KotxkCein
