Inmates are running the newsroom asylums
Say what you want about Washington Post hypochondriac tech reporter Taylor Lorenz, but she was correct when she said that “the journalism industry is overrun by rich, elite, underqualified entitled, nepo babies.”In several high-profile mainstream media outlets, the inmates are still attempting to wrest control away from those put in charge of running the asylum.This was evident last week when Washington Post CEO Will Lewis announced the sudden departure of executive editor Sally Buzbee, who oversaw a tumultuous period as the Post slid off the deep end of progressive politics. Lewis was blunt with his staff, announcing a restructuring of staff resources. When Lewis appointed new management, staff members reportedly asked him if he had interviewed any women or people of color.
