The rallies come in the final days before Tribune shareholders are scheduled to vote on May 21 on Alden Global Capital’s bid for Tribune newspapers.
The company will be voting on a buyout bid from the hedge fund Alden Global Capital.
According to a Facebook post by the Sentinel Guild, “Alden is a hedge fund known for destroying newspapers. It guts newsrooms and shrinks staff to maximize its profits.”
The Orlando Guild rally is taking place at Lake Eola Park at 10:00 a.m. and features current Orlando Sentinel journalists and State Representatives.
