A major foundation expresses sadness but urges patient support for local journalism after Chicago Public Media layoffs – WBEZ (Chicago)

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, a significant Chicago Public Media financial backer, voiced its sadness over a round of deep job cuts at WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times, as the organization faced pushback on social media and from a Chicago alderman over the decision.

WOW, Im sure Ted & Mark are bringen home $633gs at WP??? Non-profit equity hustle on steroids, unbalievable!!!: “The announced staff reductions coincided with a $6.4 million WBEZ studio renovation coming online and after what tax records show was a nearly 19% pay increase for Moog that boosted his annual compensation last year to more than $633,000.”
