Welcome to The Paper Trail

Greetings, Everyone!

This is an exciting time for the union here at the Daily News. Not only are we only hours away from opening contract negotiations, we've got this blog, The Paper Trail, to talk about it with. We'll be posting frequent updates on the proceedings here to let everyone know what we're up to and how things are going, so check in often to see the latest news.

Additionally, we've created this to foster discussion about the workplace, the paper and journalism in general. If there's something on your mind, post it here or send it to afropic@hotmail.com and we can talk it out online. We're not here to bash the paper or pick on each other; we're here to find ways to make this place the best we can.

So have at it, guys-- thanks for reading and participating.
