Utica’s local newspapers, the Observer-Dispatch and the Herkimer Times-Telegram, are under attack.

Big corporate newschain Gannett is buying up America’s local newspapers and shrinking vital local news coverage, laying off thousands of local journalists who report on the information you need to stay safe and stay connected with the Utica community.

Journalists across the country, including at the Observer-Dispatch and Times-Telegram, are organizing with The NewsGuild-CWA to fight back against the corporate takeover of our communities and our newsrooms. And we need your help!

Join the Utica NewsGuild for a Virtual Town hall on Jan. 30 at 7PM ET to learn how we can protect our community and our news coverage across Utica, New York.
