"California's journalists and news workers oppose this disastrous deal with Google and condemn the news executives who consented to it in our names," The Media Guild of the West said in a statement.
"The publishers who claim to represent our industry are celebrating an opaque deal involving taxpayer funds, a vague AI accelerator project that could very well destroy journalism jobs," the union added.
Newsom described the deal as "a major breakthrough in ensuring the survival of newsrooms," while Wicks said it "represents a cross-sector commitment to supporting a free and vibrant press."
