The (Ghost of) PD News Guild @PDNewsGuild

Today The Plain Dealer laid off journalists from our newsroom. The reporting & commentary that will be absent from the paper means our community will know less about itself. Less about the good things that should be celebrated. Less about the bad things that need changed. https://t.co/EDGPR9Ngxb
