Journalists at The New York Daily News walked off the job on Thursday for the first time in more than three decades.
Newsroom workers at The Daily News Union, which formed in 2021, are in negotiations for their first contract.
The union called a one-day work stoppage to protest staffing cuts, as well as a new policy that requires workers to get advance approval for overtime.
The Daily News, founded in 1919, was once a formidable city tabloid that raced for scoops against its rival, The New York Post, and was one of the largest newspapers in the country by circulation.
But in recent years, the paper has been hollowed out by ownership changes and staffing cuts as it struggled against ever-declining circulation and dwindling revenue.
