    There will be no cost of living increases again this year, but thankfully the rewards of doing this important work go far beyond the financial benefits.

    "ALDEN GLOBAL CAPITAL HASN'T GIVEN MERCURY NEWS STAFF A RAISE IN NEARLY EIGHT YEARS. LOCAL JOURNALISTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITIES THEY COVER."

    When you find out Alden Global Capital made nine figures from selling The Sun, but still won't give Mercury News Guild members a raise after nearly 8 years without one.

    Replying to @davidfolkenflik
    Smith said he paid nine figures, a seemingly staggering sum. (Bezos paid $250M for the WashPost.) Unclear if the undisclosed figure includes the licensing fees required by Alden Global Capital, the hedge fund that sold the Sun. Smith will rely on Alden's CMS and other services.
