The media unionization wave has come to Insider
Employees at Insider, the 13-year-old site formerly known as Business Insider, announced on Monday their intention to unionize with the NewsGuild.
Insider was one of the few remaining digital-native media outlets that had yet to see a unionization effort springing from the movement that started with Gawker in 2015 and spread to HuffPost, Vox Media, Bustle Digital Group and others.
Insider’s union represents more than 300 employees across editorial, including reporters, editors, producers and designers.
“In my view, unionizing the newsroom is the ultimate sign of our respect for Insider,” Insider Senior Reporter Dominick Reuter, who was on the organizing committee, said in a statement. “It shows that we believe in the mission of this company, and that we want to be a part of its long-term success. Negotiating a contract with us will show that our respect is reciprocated.”
An émigré architectural historian who teaches across disciplines in California, at a public university near Apple’s lair in the Bay Area (close to San Francisco), is posting an essay.
Since architectural stories are surprising rare on the edge of the continent, he needed a shtick; no matter what’s his connoisseur-ish personal tastes and leftist political dispositions.

It s been a head-scratchingly prolific year for the flow of money in Silicon Valley and the grander startup ecosystem. With many IPOs hitting their targets despite a global pandemic or perhaps with help from it it s no surprise that companies have continued to pursue the exit strategy of acquisition. Deal flow was down slightly from 2019, and certainly from 2018 but still, some very notable mergers and acquisitions weren t hindered by the economic uncertainty brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some of the biggest deals took place between companies that were already public such as Salesforce s $27.7 billion mega-acquisition of Slack, which had gone public in 2019. Uber seemed keen to buy already-public Grubhub but then in July, European take-out giant Just Eat Takeaway swooped in, acquiring it for $7.3 billion and creating the largest food-delivery company outside of China.
