Journalists from the LA Times have staged a historic walkout, the first in the newspaper's 142-year history, with the message 'No One Is Safe' in protest of proposed mass layoffs and unfair labor practices. The LA Times Guild, representing the paper's staff, is urging management to reconsider the scale of the layoffs and to offer buyouts instead. The one-day strike has garnered support from members of Congress, who emphasize the importance of the press for democracy. The protest also follows the recent resignation of the Times editor on January 9th and aims to draw attention to the impeding widespread cuts that could devastate the news organization.
How super sad, the @latimes has to lay off “journalists.” https://t.co/fSLGPR1R2j https://t.co/AumfnOqaMe
In addition to reading the LA Times, for more than 30 years I've written op-eds & stories for our hometown paper. Now it's time to support this walkout. Boycott. https://t.co/oVzUFxNsv0

📰 @LATIMES is on the verge of collapse!
You need new owners and a new direction. Until then, @latimes is just another woke, out-of-touch, far-left dinosaur headed for the scrap heap along with #SportsIllustrated. #MainstreamMedia #MSM https://t.co/6rcKXKobyR

The LA Times is an invaluable source of information for my constituents. Preserving democracy requires a free and robust press, and the LA Times has been instrumental in upholding this principle. I stand with @latguild as they walk out over potential layoffs. https://t.co/dMAd85cZDq
I'm joining hundreds of my peers in the LA Times Guild in walking out today. As others have noted, this is the first work stoppage in the paper's 142-year history. We hope mgmt reconsiders the scale of these layoffs, and offers buyouts to staff first. We need a strong LA Times. https://t.co/FNjKjjTtr8
