GoKawiilNewsGuild-CWA head says AI push is driving new wave of newsroom unionization
Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild-CWA, says journalists are organizing at a rate not seen since the 1930s as news companies push to automate newsroom work with AI. Schleuss, who helped unionize the Los Angeles Times newsroom after owners rebranded the paper's parent company as Tronc, now leads the largest U.S. news union confronting similar restructuring tied to AI adoption.
