Does Fran Spielman get paid by the article? The only news here is the housekeeping of when SEIU Local 1 announces their support of Johnson. It's worth a sentence, if that. It's like making a story out of a scientist announcing that they'll be holding a press conference to declare that the sun will come up in the morning.

Dear #SunTimes: You are under no obligation to publish letters from allies of candidates, particularly when they are as unpersuasive as this one is. Just say no.

Don’t gloss over significance of Brandon Johnson’s trip to Selma - Chicago Sun-Times

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/3/6/23627293/brandon-johnsons-selma-mayors-race-city-hall-nikki-haley-chris-rock-letters

In the midst of a tight re-election campaign, the #Chicago #SunTimes publishes an unvetted campaign document/press release disguised as an Op-Ed from the mayor's loyal health commissioner. I just don't get it.

Chicago is making strides when it comes to talking about mental health - Chicago Sun-Times

I don't think anyone except the mysteriously revered veteran #SunTimes City Hall reporter thinks this is really Ray Lopez's motivation.

Lopez Endorses Willie Wilson For Mayor

"Eager to ease historic political tensions between Blacks and Hispanics, Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) on Wednesday endorsed millionaire businessman Willie Wilson for mayor of Chicago."

ABC7 carries her stories; this is where collaboration goes astray. Her bad takes are amplified.

Honest question: Does the Sun-Times offer decent mental health insurance coverage (among other relevant workplace policies) for its employees?

So…looking through this ever growing list of journalists on mastodon, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/htmlview?usp=sharing&pru=AAABhHdK7Lk*gUF2w-6BNQV_OEEx-M5RuQ I’m wondering where #Chicago focused #journalists are? I mean, seeing Wisconsin, North Carolina, Colorado (and obviously NY). No #SunTimes, not even the #ChicagoTribune. No #blockclub, no #wttw or #ChicagoReader. 😟
OTOH, found lots of international journalists! 🙂
