This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement:

The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world.

If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.

If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

'Polyester Bakes' insists he's not a baker. His role on Gordon Ramsay's 'Next Level Baker' says otherwise Michael Mararian, aka Polyester Bakes, is competing on Gordon Ramsay's holiday-themed TV show "Next Level Baker." He’s a natural fit for TV, even if he doesn’t consider himself a baker.

Ever since an Iowa-based newspaper chain bought @buffalonews.com in 2020, they have only taken from The Buffalo News and this community. We need ownership that invests in local journalism. But we don't have one. That must change.

"Solidarity with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers on strike". Black background, white and yellow words.

BIG news: Today the federal judges who granted us an injunction last month ordering the @post-gazette.com to restore our illegally-taken health care DENIED the company’s desperate attempts to rehear the case, delay justice and cut its *current* workers out of the plan we’ve won back.
