On today's The Desert Sun frontpage, there are three stories that are supposedly written by people identified as Desert Sun reporters. But here's the truth Gannett is trying to obscure: Two of those three 'staff writers' don't — and have never — worked for The Desert Sun.

“We’re losing our jobs, we’re losing our medical (insurance), we’re losing everything,” Baker said. “And they haven’t told us anything.”

.George Stanley, the longtime Journal Sentinel editor and regional editor of USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin, retired at the end of last year after more than 43 years in journalism. He left as part of our latest round of budget cuts.

We believe in the power of local news. All week, we'll be highlighting work from our newsroom that’s made a difference.

Follow along with us and if you support our local journalism in Milwaukee, tell Gannett:

Our colleagues across the country are being notified of layoffs today. Gannett slashing jobs kills critical local journalism. We stand in solidarity with those facing turmoil today. None of them deserve this. Readers: Pay attention to what's happening. Know what's at stake.

The bargaining unit at the Milwaukee JS won't be furloughed this Dec. because of the protection of our contract.

Our members tell the story of our community, bringing you information that enriches, empowers and saves lives. We will always fight for the future of local news.✊🏾

It's as good a day as any to unionize your newsroom! ✊🏽

Throughout my time in journalism, I've met so many talented and passionate reporters who are stretched razor-thin, yet are so strong in the face of cut after cut to our resources. Thankful for Milwaukee News Guild Ⓜ️ helping us hold the line as we seek to serve our communities.

Fun news to get while sitting in my basement in the middle of a tornado warning.

Thankful for the protections of the Milwaukee News Guild Ⓜ️, which means Gannett can't implement some of these things without bargaining with us first.

Today, we're joining our Gannett colleagues nationwide in #LocalNewsLunchOut to oppose layoffs threatened last week.

Our colleagues get side gigs and put off home repairs as they go without raises. Now journalists have to lose their jobs because Gannett didn't meet its goals?

Gannett has spent millions on stock buybacks, executive pay and anti-journalist lawyers to fight its own newsrooms. But at the same time it's asking for special powers. Why would any sane person think it will invest new money into its journalists? newsguild.org/gannett-cant-b…

This after CEO Mike Reed took in $7.7 million in compensation and they announced a plan to do a $100 million stock buyback. Can we trust Gannett to even run the business at this point?

We're wearing our Local 51 shirts in the newsroom today as a visual reminder of our solidarity and collective power. It's🌊 #StrongerTogether #Local51
