In this week's episode, we are taking a deeper look at the ongoing workers' strike at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Host Matthew Reyna is joined by Kaley Johnson, criminal and social justice reporter for the Star-Telegram, who is serving as one of the vocal leaders of the strike in her role as vice president of the Fort Worth News Guild. Johnson describes the events that led to the strike, Star-Telegram parent company McClatchy's decision to revoke healthcare benefits from those on the picket line, and the local stories that may be lacking deeper analysis without her and her colleagues in the newsroom.
