Thank You, Federal News Network!

Posted on By

Local 1998 thanks the Federal News Network for their Advocacy.

From America’s first published newspaper on September 25, 1690, by Benjamin Harris in Boston, and going forward to today’s journalism by print newspapers as well as online news reporting, the work journalists do to investigate and report news and information is vitally important to our lives as American citizens.

Local 1998 appreciates the Federal News Network’s interest in capturing the lives of the workers within the U.S. Department of State’s Passport Services in two recent articles (see links below).  Local 1998 is grateful to FNN journalists, and other FNN staff, for their work to bring attention to the issues facing federal government workers.  Thank you, Federal News Network!
