This work isn’t possible without us. But McClatchy would rather spend millions on AI then invest in the humans who won 53 awards, including for showing how $200k in execution drugs expired. Donate to our strike fund for fair wages so we can keep covering this community bit.ly/pnwnewsstrike

We are ready to STRIKE to create a sustainable future for local news. Our communities are hurt when talented journalists leave over low pay. Most of our union members are not making livable wages. Help us by donating to our strike fund: bit.ly/pnwnewsstrike

We're closing in on the final days of the Idaho legislative session. Here's what you need to know as lawmakers try to leave Boise #idpol #idleg 🧵

Visuals journalist Brian Hayes said saving enough for a home feels impossible on his income. He's watched colleagues leave the industry to be able to buy a place of their own. "I don't think any of us got into [journalism] to be rich, but I thought we'd make a living," Hayes said.

Tacoma News Tribune reporter Izzie Lund, 26, said she didn't leave her home for three weeks after an unexpected dental bill because she couldn't afford to put gas in her tank. "I was just trapped in my apartment," Lund said.

McClatchy reporters have struggled to afford groceries, weddings & plane tickets to see family. As more McClatchy reporters feel forced out of the industry, this has also affected the quality of journalism in their communities.

Any of you recall the 2024 Idaho gas station explosion that killed two and injured two? Well, the report was just given to me yesterday. It found numerous code violations, for one. But also that negligence could’ve contributed to the incident. Here’s more: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

There's a lot of noise out there in the world. Sometimes, you miss out on great stories. Here's a thread of the great journalism Idahoans should be reading in 2026 and may have missed: 🧵
