Youngstown Pride to stop using Vindicator - The Valley Voice is now our source!

As a matter of policy, the editor of this blog has decided that we can no longer provide news to our readers from the Youngstown Vindicator. While we have long held that the Vindicator is a reliable source for news from Youngstown, we believe that their unfair labor agreement against Newspaper Guild Local 11 means that we cannot support them until they offer a fair contract to these workers.

Furthermore, we now offer our support to The Valley Voice, the strike newspaper of Local 11. It is published weekly. Subscriptions are available by e-mailing subscribe@valleyvoiceonline.com. They are available for $2 for home delivery and $6 for mail subscriptions. See www.valleyvoiceonline.com for more information.

Lastly, because the paper is only available online in .pdf versions, no news articles will be posted, however links will be placed on these pages for our readers to access the most recent edition.

Sincerely,

Joe Lowry
Editor, Youngstown Pride
