Since 2017, the  Pittsburgh Post-Gazette  ( PG ) has faced multiple disruptions, including a bitter labor conflict and various public controversies, that have threatened the credibility of this long-standing metropolitan newspaper. To understand how  PG  journalists and its union have navigated such pressures, this study uses the concept of compounding precarity to capture the multiple, overlapping parts of journalistic precarity that together effect the lives and work of journalists. By interviewing current and past  PG  journalists, the analysis reveals the individual- and collective-level tactics workers used to navigate these conditions. The study finds that, though journalists individualized precarity at times, union logics largely structured how they responded to compounding precarity. While this illustrates the union’s influence at the paper, its inability to sway upper management in numerous disputes reveals the limits of collective organizing at the  PG . Given that these issues are not exclusive to the  PG , this study highlights the need for cross-coalitional building and structural changes across the news industry in order to spare journalists and journalism from the toxic effects of precarity in late-stage capitalism.
