| 1951 | Glyn Roberts | The journalists' fight at the Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times is a vital part of our fight across the industry. More power to you. |
| 1952 | Iain Frame | |
| 1953 | Tommy Kane | |
| 1954 | Walton Pantland | |
| 1955 | Andrew Pointer | Please do not trash the Herald and Sunday Herald, Scotland needs at least one quality newspaper - I like many others will stop buying them if you make more cutbacks in staff and resouces. Look what has happened to the Scotsman in recent years - don't make the same mistake. |
| 1956 | ANDY PUTTNAM | I support all action to protect these historic titles. |
| 1957 | Hugh McMahon, Former MEP | Can I assure you of my full support in this dispute.
I will cancel my Herald, as a gesture of solidarity, while the dispute lasts.
Good luck! Hugh mcMahon |
| 1958 | Hayley Jarvis | |
| 1959 | Jock Penman | My best wishes to those brothers and sisters defending their jobs, and their rights at work, from an unscruplulous employer whose aim is to maximise profits at the expense of the liveliehood of members of staff. |
| 1960 | Adam Ramsay | Solidarity from student jounalists |
| 1961 | Anonymous | |
| 1962 | Ivan Belevich | Keep fighting! Otherwise, soon there will be no quality journalism of any kind left - just the army of media moguls, bureaucrats and a few poor underpaid stringers. |
| 1963 | Christine Cooper | |
| 1964 | Eddie Scott | Honour the commitments you made when you purchased the Newspapers. |
| 1965 | Kathleen A. Shaw | |
| 1966 | Melissa Nelson | |
| 1967 | Bill O'Meara | Be fair to workers!! |
| 1968 | Carrie J. Biggs-Adams | Time to share! |
| 1969 | Jay R. Schmitz | No matter what name this company goes by -- Gannett or Newsquest -- it has a horrendously poor record of sacrificing quality for short-term profits. We in US labor stand by our European brothers and sisters who are taking a stand in the name of good journalism. |
| 1970 | Judy Wolf | As a compatriot in the States, working at one of Gannett's largest papers here, I've seen how greedy its quests for profits is.
It long ago abandoned a real commitment to high-quality journalism (if it ever had it). It wants to win awards, yes. But much more than that, it wants to reap in profits -- and, just as you're seeing, at margins far above those of others in the industry or in other businesses.
It is an obscene, rapacious international monster. I wish you luck in your fight.
Yours in solidarity,
Judy Wolf

| 1973 | Joe Pollack | International solidarity among workers is vital to the future of all. |
| 1974 | Thomas Oates | |
| 1975 | John Mullen | Good luck in your efforst to fight corporate greed. We don't like to believe that employers care only about lining their own pockets, but unfortunately that is the way of today. Only sticking together and taking severe actions will cause them to change there mind. To them, it is all about power and control.
Good luck and God bless you. |
| 1976 | Neil Sheach | |
| 1977 | Emily Everett | |
| 1978 | Stephanie Hedgecoke | I worked for Gannett at the Oakland Tribune before they gutted it and sold it. Been there, seen how they operate.
Gannett was also responsible, along with Knight-Ridder, for a four year labor dispute, which became a lock-out, in the US city of Detroit, from 1997 to 2001. |

| 1981 | joseph molinaro | |
| 1982 | John Braunreiter | Earn record profits and then cut the employees who worked hard to get you those profits, it's hard to understand. Have some decency and treat your workers like family not disposable objects. |
| 1983 | Kathleen Carroll | Publishing companies need to learn that quality suffers when staff is cut. |
| 1984 | Scott Weller | Stop dealing with your greed and profits! Take care of the WORKERS who built the company that you now have the benefit of all of their "fruits and labor". It's time to give back to those who made you who you are! Remember you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with! |

| 1989 | Steve Orr | As president of the journalists' union in Rochester, New York, the former home city for the Gannett Company, I understand your plight. My colleagues and I support your actions there, and urge Newsquest and Gannett to stop stripping your newspapers -- and ours -- of their heritage in the interests of profit.
Good luck to you. |
