CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – Journalists at the Daily Progress have chosen to unionize. City reporter Nolan Stout released a statement as an organizing committee member concerned that BH Media owner Warren Buffett said a few months ago that local newspapers are “toast”. The release posted on Cvillepedia says journalists in the DP newsroom disagree, and that they’ve seen cuts in the newsroom of positions and resources at a time when “the need for strong, local journalism continues to grow”.

The entire release… including the union they are joining is below.
