Journalists at The New York Daily News and Forbes are striking amid contentious contract talks with management and a difficult few weeks in the news industry
NEW YORK -- Journalists at The New York Daily News and Forbes walked off the job Thursday amid contentious contract talks with management and a difficult few weeks in the news industry.
Both strike are historic: It's the first-ever at the business-focused magazine in more than a century, and the first at the storied newspaper in more than three decades, according to the NewsGuild of New York.
The one-day strike at the Daily News coincides with Forbes walkout, which runs through Monday.
In midtown Manhattan, dozens of Daily News staffers and their supporters picketed Thursday outside a small co-working space — the newspaper's office since its lower Manhattan newsroom was shuttered in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
Founded in 1919, it was once the largest circulating newspaper in the country.
