@itsjhyphenm: Tempted to make this my header image on my profile, just to gaslight myself https://twitter.com/...
Wesley / @wesleylowery: Anyway, it's understandable that when a major, and important, journalistic figure retires the coverage in totality is positive. But the coverage of this retirement — from the post and everyone else — has been pure propaganda. He hasn't been asked a single meaningful question
Anthony DeRosa / @anthony: “plenty was innovative, such as an online section devoted to breaking news continuously, a team focused on how best to deliver Post journalism and a section covering video games & e-sports. ("A lot of it got replicated by @nytimes," Mr. Baron said archly.) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Lynda Robinson / @wplyndarobinson: When Bezos bought The Post, Baron was contemplating having to cut at least 50 newsroom jobs in the coming year, he recalled. Via @sarahellison https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
David Sanger / @sangernyt: A fascinating piece on an editor's journey remaking a great newspaper for the digital age. I feel lucky to have worked with Marty when he was at the Times and I've been an admirer of his judgment and news instincts since. Eager to see his next act. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: Sadly lacking any real acknowledgement by either the author or the subject of how much much more WaPo could have been and done with a bolder leader or even just a better listener. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

Dave Levinthal / @davelevinthal: Stunning paragraph from deep within the @washingtonpost's farewell 1A to @PostBaron. https://twitter.com/...
Lauren Dobson-Hughes / @ldobsonhughes: The article literally describes the work of two women https://twitter.com/...
P Vaidyanathan Iyer / @iyervaidy: The very first principle on the wall when you walk into @washingtonpost newsroom: “To tell the truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained.” Much to imbibe in this interview with @PostBaron @IndianExpress @anantgoenka https://twitter.com/...
Kayla Epstein / @kaylaepstein: The online headline wasn't framed the same way as the print version but still only gives passing credit to these journalists. This isn't to dismiss Baron and Bezos, who made enormous contributions. But just to say share the credit around a little bit https://www.nytimes.com/...
David Axelrod / @davidaxelrod: One of the great editors of his generation retires today. Marty Baron of the @washingtonpost has led 3 major news orgs & transformed the Post into a digital power without compromising the mission, values & ethics he championed in every newsroom he's run. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Digbijay Mishra / @digbijaymishra1: Several interesting takeaways from this @PostBaron interview, especially on billionaires owing media platforms like The Post and why it may or may not work in the rest of the world. https://indianexpress.com/...
Ashish Khetan / @aashishkhetan: .@PostBaron makes a very important point: “It's important that journalists who are participating in social media exercise restraint in the same way that they would if they were publishing it in our publication online or in print.” https://indianexpress.com/...
Kayla Epstein / @kaylaepstein: It's also not fair to only get Big Mad at NYT for this. Most of the stories this week have made the same mistake. Including the Post's own story, where the only (brief) mention of social media at the Post is framed as an opposition force to Baron https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Tara Parker-Pope / @taraparkerpope: The women of the Washington Post would like to have a word. https://twitter.com/...
Rahul Tripathi / @rahultripathi: There is something called objective fact and objective reality. Our job is to get at that, to publish that as best as we can, and not to be deterred, not to be pressured, not to be distracted: @washingtonpost editor @PostBaron . https://indianexpress.com/...

Michael Kruse / @michaelkruse: “Would we have generated the subscriptions we did without Donald Trump? Probably not, to be honest,” says @PostBaron. “But I think it's largely now a result of people recognizing that there needs to be a vigorous press in this country ...” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Stacy-Marie Ishmael / @s_m_i: Love to constantly be reminded of how often being a woman in media is an exercise in watching men in media erase your work in real time (Image shows a screenshot of a story from the New York Times written by Marc Tracy. The headline is “The Men Who Remade The Washington Post") https://twitter.com/...
Kayla Epstein / @kaylaepstein: WaPo's renaissance was due in large - uncredited - part to the audience, graphics, data, newsletter, video, etc teams, which are dominated by talented women, POC, and LGBTQ staff. Yet their brilliance is rarely cited in these glowing success stories about the Post. https://twitter.com/...
Jeremy Bowers / @jeremybowers: This does not represent my understanding of how The Post was remade. I cannot imagine the current Post without @katdowns and @WapoEngineering's Vidya Viswanathan, among several others. https://twitter.com/...
Margarita Noriega / @margarita: sadly, this print headline is real and as such is a very real tell. https://twitter.com/...
Gene Park / @genepark: pretty cool to see the only 2 teams I've been on at WaPo both get mentioned in the NYT piece of our innovation overhaul https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: I spent 1997-2003, 3 of those years as editor of the website, telling them to “accept the gift”, and 2004-2009, as White House Watch columnist, showing them how. So forgive me if I resent the revisionism that no one had thought of this until @JeffBezos https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

Sushant Singh / @sushantsin: The internet demolished media's traditional business models, Mr. Bezos explained in the interview, “but it does bring one huge gift, and you have to maximize your usage of that new gift, which is that it provides almost free global distribution.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

No dissent? What's the “more effective means”? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jake Tapper / @jaketapper: Yes, hi, I see all you folks willing to look away from the brutal slaughter of a US resident and Washington Post columnist because you like this president and thus it doesn't bother you that Biden isn't punishing the Saudi Royal Prince responsible. You're wrong.
Andy Kim / @andykimnj: I just finished reading the declassified memo on killing of #Khashoggi. I've read thousands of intel reports in my career in national security, but this one stands out.

Ryan Struyk / @ryanstruyk: SCHIFF: “The Crown Prince basically has blood on his hands for ordering this capture-or-kill operation. It's very hard to hold accountable the people who did the deed and let the person who ordered the deed be done off the hook. I've been urging the administration to go further.”

Nicholas Kristof / @nickkristof: My column argues that it's not a done deal that MBS becomes king. Saudi Arabia has had six crown princes in the last decade.

Craig Silverman / @craigsilverman: On Tues, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a 900-word ode to Facebook Groups. Don't look for it in the Times — it was published on FB's corporate website. Brooks also appeared in a company video, and didn't tell his editors what he was doing. w/@rmac18: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
Joan Donovan, PhD / @bostonjoan: A few weeks ago, I pointed out Facebook's shady dealings with corporate researchers, academics, & journalists. Several folks were critical of me for pointing it out, suggesting I was lying or paranoid. Here, a NYT journalist, a nonprofit, and a NYU research team are implicated. https://twitter.com/...
Craig Silverman / @craigsilverman: Brooks' post for Facebook was timed to a new report from NYU about Facebook Groups. FB funded and helped facilitate the report. Brooks was not paid for his FB blogging. But he leads an Aspen Institute project about community engagement that has taken funding from FB.
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: Super good and important thread on Facebook's proximity to critical research and perspectives. I recall when Facebook suggested to us they should have been able to screen the design and results of research we did. 👋🏽 nope, not the way it works. https://twitter.com/...
Dr. Rebekah Tromble / @rebekahktromble: So many thoughts about this that I don't have time or energy to flesh out today. But I think it's crucial to note how Facebook's control over the money, data—including access to research subjects—AND comms/PR intertwined to make this a particularly problematic case. https://twitter.com/...
Carrie A. Goldberg / @cagoldberglaw: So let's see, big tech owns academia, the media, civil libertarian nonprofits, big law, law schools, bunches of lawmakers done of SCOTUS, basically anybody who'd dare be critical https://twitter.com/...

But my prior is “no.” @nytimes has a star system, and it has done enormous damage to the paper and its readers inthe past. https://twitter.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: “It's not social media that's the problem, it's the ideas & behavior of the people who use it”- @nytdavidbrooks, writing about Facebook on @Facebook. But @NYTimes journalism has shown the people who build & run social media can be the problem, as can features - including Groups. https://twitter.com/...

Jesse Lehrich / @jesselehrich: this story is a case study in how @Facebook coopts academia & thought leaders to do their PR. they paid NYU $300,000 to produce a glowing ‘study’ on how FB groups build community, then got @nytdavidbrooks - whose initiative they also fund - to write it up on the corporate blog. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Whenever I have a practical media ethics conversation with peers - “is it ok to do X or Y?” - I try to fast-forward by asking “How would you feel if the New York Times wrote about you doing X or Y?” I look forward to the NYT's coverage of this one. https://twitter.com/...

Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: Facebook Groups have helped foster and grow: - QAnon - the anti-vaxx movement - Proud Boys - militias - Boogaloo bois - Stop the Steal If Brooks wants to do PR for this product in exchange for funding his pet project, that's fine, but he should resign from his journalism job. https://twitter.com/...

Amanda Katz / @katzish: It's the character guy! David Brooks's post “did not mention recent reporting...that revealed Facebook has known for years that Groups are an engine of polarization and misinformation, and that the company failed to move quickly to enact changes that could protect users.” https://twitter.com/...
@slpng_giants: This is a massive conflict of interest and the @nytimes needs to address this, especially when @facebook is spending advertising dollars on their podcasts.

(If watching this garbage is how Americans are spending their time, no wonder we're in trouble.)
Rich Greenfield / @richlightshed: Nailed it @benyt “Whether Discovery+ is another move to make the company more attractive for a giant to swallow before the bottom really falls out of the U.S. cable biz or whether the company's current high stock price will prompt...to acquire other biz” https://www.nytimes.com/...

@phoebewbridg: This is present day twitter, labelling people as problematic for everything ranging from ignorant stuff to sexual abuse really flattens the awfulness of really terrible crimes. https://twitter.com/...
@starkillerqueen: I don't fully blame her for this, but that whole “your fave is problematic” thing taking root, especially on Tumblr, is why a post that was 2/3rds lies was able to poison K-pop fandom against Super Junior for the last like...decade. https://twitter.com/...
Kate Lindsay / @kathrynfiona: a true, genuine gasp at the unmasking of Your Fave Is Problematic, a Tumblr that I personally believe is where all this *gestures vaguely* started https://www.nytimes.com/...
Kat Tenbarge / @kattenbarge: The Tumblr user who popularized the word “problematic” (and who basically invented modern celebrity cancel culture) was a grieving, irrational high school senior at the time they ran their blog.
