Meera Navlakha / Mashable: On Substack, COVID misinformation is allowed to flourish
@alexhern: Something that isn't addressed in this article, but is crucial to remember about substack: an unknown number of its writers are directly paid by the company, hand-picked and enticed over through its opaque substack pro deal https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: 6) When it comes to bad ideas, it's neither right nor smart to martyr them and drive them into dark corners where they're safe from examination and questioning. That doesn't work. What works is examination and mockery (like using the Riddikulus charm against a Boggart).
@ccdhate: One newsletter by prominent anti-vaxxer Joseph Mercola spread the misinformation that “More Children Have Died From Covid Shot Than From Covid.” His newsletters make an estimated $1M a year. Read more in @guardian https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Jamison Foser / @jamisonfoser: So the thing about this is that *Harry Potter is a work of fiction* and in the real world no amount of mockery makes covid misinformation spread by massive and influential platforms like Substack disappear. Instead, people die. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: This is some next-level venture capitalist pretzel brain shit https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: Listen up all you people who are paying for Substacks: Are you also paying for real journalism? Because if you're not, you are serious fucking part of the problem.
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: People paying for Substacks think they're getting something cool and new and close and intimate with the writer. The real reason why there are so many Substacks (of legit people, not the anti-vax scammers) is there are shrinking ways for writers to make money.
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: So the only way for writers to make money is to give some of it to some idiots who platform conspiracy theorists and who are making millions off of it.
Kaya Oakes / @kayaoakes: As Sarah says in this thread, if you're paying for Substacks you should also be paying for journalism, you know, the kind that happens in newspapers and magazines with editors and fact checkers. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: Substack earns at least $2.5 million a year from just five anti-vaccine leaders who have amassed tens of thousands of subscribers, each paying $50 a month." https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Rusty Foster / @fka_tabs: Like in HARRY POTTER y'know? 😉😉😉😉 😉 https://twitter.com/...
@alexhern: Substack's issue is the same as Spotify's: it has an open platform, and a closed editorial product, and it tries to pretend that criticism of the latter is the same as criticism of the former. But unlike Spotify, it's much more successful at that line, because of its obfuscation
Evelyn Douek / @evelyndouek: A lot of “content moderation” just gets lumped in together but we should talk a lot more about how who pays and who profits drives this space and should change different stakeholder responsibilities https://twitter.com/...
Jay Van Bavel / @jayvanbavel: Follow the money of the people spewing out misinformation... https://twitter.com/...
Isaac Saul / @ike_saul: It's almost as if banning people from platforms doesn't actually work! https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@alexhern: I say “unknown number” but the more important thing isn't how many there are but who they are. Is substack deliberately using substack pro to build an anti-vax publishing empire? We literally do not know, and the company refuses to divulge any information
Tarl Warwick / The Tarl Times: Youtubes Laughable Misinfo Policy on COVID
@meeranavlakha: Substack is home to a slew of prominent newsletters from anti-vaxxers. The company's philosophy? “It's not against the rules to be disagreeable or wrong.” I wrote about why these newsletters have been allowed to exist, and flourish, on the platform. https://mashable.com/...
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: IOW, Substack, which pretends to promote a diversity of ideas, is subverting democracy. https://twitter.com/...
Mike Rothschild / @rothschildmd: Substack is also profiting off stolen election conspiracy theories. The “devolution” theory, which claims Trump is still the president and running a secret military government, generates thousands of dollars per month for both its creator, “Patel Patriot,” and Substack. https://twitter.com/...
Liz Essley Whyte / @l_e_whyte: Anti-vaccine activists flocking to Substack, including Joseph Mercola, who recently used his newsletter to claim that the unvaccinated might soon be imprisoned (which is, to be clear, a conspiracy theory) https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@alexhern: This matters too because it completely blows substack's defence out of the water. You cannot have a “hands off approach to content moderation” if you're actively hand-picking people to pay a special deal to. That is the definition of hands-on. https://twitter.com/...
Chelsea Clinton / @chelseaclinton: Anti-vaxx grift going strong - why is Substack facilitating science denialists' ability to profit from destructive lies (and comfortable profiting themselves)? “Anti-vaxxers making ‘at least $2.5m’ a year from publishing on Substack” via @guardian https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: At Substack, we don't make moderation decisions based on public pressure or PR considerations. An important principle for us is defending free expression, even for stuff we personally dislike or disagree with. We understand principles come at a cost. 🧵

@ethanvansciver: Completely appreciate this sentiment, and it's a shame that this needs to be explained to ANYONE in 2022. But it does. Social Justice bullies need to shut the fuck up and let people express themselves without having to pass their ironic morality tests. Stay tough, Substack! https://twitter.com/...
Ashley / @infosec_taylor: We defend free speech including disinformation and hate speech.... except if you post anything sexual. That's icky. https://twitter.com/...
Daniel A. Zendejas / Are We Having Fun Yet?: Society has a Trust Problem
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: 4) Who should be the arbiter of what's true and good and right? People should be allowed to decide for themselves, not have a tech executive decide for them. I wouldn't want someone to pick out my clothes for me, much less my ideas.
Nick Gillespie / @nickgillespie: As we face growing pressure to censor content published on @SubstackInc...our answer remains the same: we make decisions based on principles not PR, we will defend free expression, and we will stick to our hands-off approach to content moderation.' Yes! https://on.substack.com/...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: 3) We made a promise to writers that this is a place they can pursue what they find meaningful, without coddling or controlling. We promised we wouldn't come between them and their audiences. And we intend to keep our side of the agreement for every writer that keeps theirs.
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: I think people misconstruing what “freedom of expression” means is kind of par for the course on this site, but suggesting that allowing misinformation to be published “builds trust” by being performatively hands-off, is an amazing level of cognitive dissonance. https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Fleishman / @glennf: No. Every platform starts out with free-speech maximalism as if it's some kind of universal principle handed down by the gods or the stars or whatever, and ultimately devotes 10-20% of its staff to dealing with safety. https://on.substack.com/...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: 5) The only area where we humans have a perfect track record is that we've consistently gotten things wrong. Every generation has beliefs and blind spots that make future generations aghast. It would be the height of arrogance to think we've suddenly become infallible now.
Dana Loesch / @dloesch: Good thread. Thank you. https://twitter.com/...
Emily Miller / @emilymiller: Read this from @SubstackInc — it makes me proud to be a part of this mission to ensure free speech so the government must listen to the people. “Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse.” https://on.substack.com/...
@slpng_giants: Another platform, another dishonest “free speech” argument that doesn't apply to businesses. Pathetic to see @SubstackInc, a new content platform, using the same well-worn playbook of Facebook (@meta) and @YouTube, who came before them. Just say you're in it for the dough. https://twitter.com/...
Joscha Bach / @plinz: “We don't have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem. Censorship of bad ideas makes people less likely, not more likely, to trust good ideas. Censorship [doesn't] make the misinformation problem disappear but the mistrust problem worse."https://on.substack.com/ ...
@bartnijman: “To put it plainly: censorship of bad ideas makes people less likely, not more likely, to trust good ideas.” Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse. https://on.substack.com/...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: I read things on Substack all the time that I personally disagree with. Open debate is not always comfortable. But neither, for that matter, is the sea.
Yuri Bezmenov / How To with Yuri Bezmenov: How To Make a Golden Age Mixtape
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: I respect that writers on Substack are people who like to think for themselves. They tend not to be conformists, and they have the confidence and strength of conviction not to be threatened by views that disagree with them or even disgust them. This is becoming increasingly rare
Karl Bode / @karlbode: substack does this thing where they throw big cash advances at professional bigots and contrarian trolls for engagement bucks, then stand back pretending they're just uninvolved, objective champions of expression and in love with trust building https://twitter.com/...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: I'm proud of our decision to defend free expression, even when it's hard, because: 1) We want a thriving ecosystem full of fresh and diverse ideas. That can't happen without the freedom to experiment, or even to be wrong.
Tom Gara / @tomgara: There's a revealed preference thing going on with Substack's approach to content moderation and it's huge success / popularity among media people https://on.substack.com/...
David Ulevitch / @davidu: It's the correct place to land. So obvious, and yet, refreshing. https://on.substack.com/...
Lulu Cheng Meservey / @lulumeservey: 2) People already mistrust institutions, media, and each other. Knowing that dissenting views are being suppressed makes that mistrust worse. Withstanding scrutiny makes truths stronger, not weaker.
Ryan Hoover / @rrhoover: “In the online Thunderdome, it is imperative that you are not seen to engage with ideas from the wrong group” https://on.substack.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Emil Protalinski / @epro: If Substack's hands-off approach to content moderation was just about free speech, maybe the company could make a non-bullshit argument. But Substack makes money by taking a cut from “dubious or objectionable content.” Sorry Substack, this doesn't pass the sniff test. https://twitter.com/...
Timothy B. Lee / @binarybits: We are not on substack but I like this post about their content moderation philosophy. https://on.substack.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@yugacohler: Latest @SubstackInc missive by @hamishmckenzie @cjgbest and @jairajs89 is really excellent. “Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse.” https://twitter.com/...
Louise Matsakis / @lmatsakis: What Substack is and isn't willing to do on moderation remains super vague. This post seems to imply that they won't take down misleading posts about vaccines. But at the same time, its rules already ban promoting “harmful or illegal activities” https://on.substack.com/...
Doomberg / @doombergt: Outstanding piece by the @SubstackInc team. As long as this is their view, we want to be part of their ecosystem. @SubstackLinda https://on.substack.com/...
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: Interesting contrast: Substack just posted its own anti-vaxx policy, which is that generally it is NOT going to remove it, because it doesn't think censorship works. Gonna write about this for @platformer today if you want to get ahead on your reading: https://on.substack.com/...
Substack / @substackinc: As we face growing pressure to censor content published on Substack, our position remains unchanged: We will always view censorship as a last resort, because we believe open discourse is better for writers and better for society. Read more: https://on.substack.com/...
@dongwon: this sucks. @substack what world are you living in? this is such strawman, flimsy bullshit to justify profiting off of hate speech, misinformation, and a system that undermines the very principles you claim to be defending. https://on.substack.com/...

In the past 2 weeks, 155 of the 293 new jobs posted on https://journalismjobs.com/ have included the word “passion” or “passionate” somewhere in the ad copy. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Passion will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no passion https://twitter.com/...
Terri Rupar / @terri_rupar: I read this and now the word “passion” has lost all meaning is it a fruit is it an animal is it a scent https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Gareth Harding / @garethharding: “Is covering suburban sewer district meetings what you've always dreamed of doing? Did your childhood list of life goals include “lightly rewriting wire copy about more exciting things happening in more exciting places”? If yes, it's time to get PASSIONATE about journalism. https://twitter.com/...
Ken Armstrong / @bykenarmstrong: Such a great piece on what it is we ask for. My fave is the newsroom seeking someone “who has a passion for digital storytelling in a results-oriented environment,” a description sure to crush whatever passion an applicant might actually have. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Krewson / @ckrewson: Hey @jbenton this is my favorite passion in journalism story. https://twitter.com/...
Corey Hutchins / @coreyhutchins: “A reporting job has become an economically irrational choice for more potential journalists, disproportionately weeding out the less passionate among them.” https://twitter.com/...
@niemanfdn: News outlets seem to want “passion for the work” above all else in who they hire. But all that passion comes with an unhealthy price tag. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Glenn Fleishman / @glennf: “Passion” is another word for unpaid overtime. https://twitter.com/...
Robert Hackett / @rhhackett: Passion literally comes from the latin ‘to suffer’ https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Sara Gregory / @saragregory: To quote @sarahljaffe, work won't love you back! https://twitter.com/...
Matt DeRienzo / @mattderienzo: This is a hilarious/amazing idea for a story. And we should be interrogating our buzz words and what they signal! https://twitter.com/...
Karen McGrane / @karenmcgrane: One of the things I explicitly advise students to avoid in their job applications is “feeling words” like passionate, excited, etc. Employers actually don't care how you feel about your job, they want to know what you can do (and how much they can exploit you) https://twitter.com/...
David Firn / @davidfirn: Yeah. Hate this. Do I get a kick out of journalism? Yes. Does it ‘engender strong and barely controllable emotion’? No. Could it be compared with ‘the suffering and death of Jesus’? Look, I do it well and they pay me and I think that's OK. https://twitter.com/...
Zainab Shah / @zainabshah: “The findings point to commodification of feelings and exploitation of emotional labour in journalism.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Andrew Losowsky / @losowsky: “Passion is, at some level, a willingness to suffer for your work. It might be noble, but giving it too much weight in hiring is a recipe for exhaustion, burnout, and newsrooms that don't look like their audiences” https://twitter.com/...
Jen Rice / @jen_rice_: presumably we can negotiate higher salaries based on passion https://twitter.com/...
Oscar Lopez / New York Times:
Journalists in Mexican cities held vigils on Tuesday after three media workers were murdered this month; some say the attacks have left an information blackout — The killing of three media workers in less than a month triggered protests in cities across the county this week demanding an end to the violence.

Oscar Lopez / @oscarlopeznyt: In Mexico, the killings of journalists has become almost horrifyingly routine. But this month has felt especially brutal for many in the country. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Michael Deibert / @michaelcdeibert: “It's infuriating, it's enraging, because journalists always give our soul, our heart, our body. From one moment to the next, they take away that passion, that commitment, that love, that dedication that you have toward journalism.” https://www.nytimes.com/... #PeriodismoEnRiesgo

Jad Abumrad / @jadabumrad: Hey everybody. I have some big personal news. I am stepping aside as host of Radiolab. This show that I started in 2002 - in my basement - is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and this feels like the right time. https://www.wnycstudios.org/ ... (1/6)
insideradio.com: Jad Abumrad Is Leaving Radiolab; Cohosts Lulu Miller And Latif Nasser Take Over Series.
David ImeI / @durvidimel: .@JadAbumrad is the biggest reason I'm obsessed with good storytelling. @Radiolab was the catalyst for me getting deep into this industry back in 2011. What an incredible run. 👏👏👏 https://twitter.com/...
Zuri Berry / @zuriberry: A very nice write up by @nwquah on Radiolab's transition. I think his commentary on the consistency of the show's sense of wonder was on point, and also why I drifted from it. But it'll be worth tuning back in to see what they do next. https://www.vulture.com/...
Aaron Scott Opb / @aaronscottopb: I was recently asked which interviewers I most looked up to, and I replied that I learned more from sitting through two interviews with @JadAbumrad than from two years of graduate school. Thank you for being a true inspiration to so many of us, Jad! https://twitter.com/...
Ken Burns / @kenburns: Can't wait to see and hear what's next. Congrats on all you've done. You've changed how so many of us think about science and storytelling. https://twitter.com/...
Anil Seth / @anilkseth: Sad for the rest of us but good for you @JadAbumrad - @Radiolab has been part of my listening life since the early days & its impact across the world has been immeasurably valuable. Thank you & @rkrulwich for igniting so many minds 🙏🏽 & long may the journey continue https://twitter.com/...
Anna Sale / @annasale: Jad invented something totally new, and grew it into a juggernaut collective of storytellers who found opportunities and space that never would've existed without him. The best way to be an artist. Thank you. https://twitter.com/...
Katie Hasty / @katiehasty: A big hats-off to Jad Abumrad, a journalist and host that has heavily influenced the way I think about media today and for always. https://twitter.com/...
@macfound: Congratulations @JadAbumrad on 20 great years! In 2011 we recognized him as a MacArthur Fellow for “inspiring boundless curiosity within a new generation of listeners” on @Radiolab. 🎙️ #MacFellow https://twitter.com/...
Joel Werner / @joelwerner: Huge news. I can't even... Jad literally changed the way I think about the thing I do every day. An incredible legacy. https://twitter.com/...
Jesse Thorn / @jessethorn: This guy rules in case you were wondering. I hope he is proud of himself. (Literally.) https://twitter.com/...
@tylerkenthill: The first time I heard radiolab I was driving through the Mojave desert on my way to my sophomore year of college. I heard “After Life” and - like others have said today - I thought “I want to do THAT for a living.” I started making radio docs that fall. Thanks Jad. :') https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Dorsey / @electryandorsey: I've been a big @Radiolab fan since the first time I heard it. It's made me a more appreciative and interested person, and I really appreciate how much that is to do with Jad just being a truly remarkable person, but also with how great his partners are. Changing of the guard. https://twitter.com/...
Ira Glass / @iraglass: He waited till now, of course, because he wanted it to be Biden who appoints the new head of @Radiolab. https://twitter.com/...
Jason Feifer / @heyfeifer: Whoa, actual “end of an era” material here. Congratulations @JadAbumrad on absolutely everything https://twitter.com/...
Nick Quah / @nwquah: wrote about Jad Abumrad stepping away from Radiolab https://www.vulture.com/...
Jad Abumrad / @jadabumrad: Why now? I've been working towards this moment for years. And I look around now at this incredibly talented group of people, and it's clear to me that they're so “ready.” (2/6)
Grant Blankenship / @grant_blank_: No exaggeration here, but any understanding of audio storytelling I when I (thankfully) landed in public radio were 90% due to listening critically to those original Radiolabs in the car between newspaper photo assignments. Thanks, Jad, and good luck. https://twitter.com/...
Shreya Dasgupta / @shreyadasgupta: 20 years! Radiolab was the first sciency audio show I heard and fell in love with. https://twitter.com/...
Karen Duffin / @duffinkaren: Ughh. I'll miss Jad's story genius, but I'll also miss his generosity. I made my very first big story with Jad - I was brand new, he's ofc a legend... but he made so much space for me to be my own nerdweirdo self. Helped me find my voice and my confidence. Still so grateful. https://twitter.com/...

Lulu Miller / @lmillernpr: Big news. Bigger gratitude. https://twitter.com/...
Brookings:
Three case studies quantify the spikes in harmful online speech mentioning women journalists after prominent men targeted them on social or broadcast media — On March 9, 2021, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at a favorite target: a New York Times journalist.
Discussion:
Don Moynihan / @donmoyn: What happens when Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald target female journalists? A dramatic increase in threatening, toxic and sexually explicit online attacks. They can pretend they are not responsible, but they can't say they don't know. https://brookings.edu/... https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Brookings Institution publishes research finding that after Tucker Carlson targets a female journalist, “the prevalence of hateful speech targeting those journalists increases in the immediate aftermath, often taking days to decrease...” https://www.brookings.edu/...
@jigsaw: Gender based online violence silences important voices and undermines democratic discourse. A new analysis from @BrookingsInst used Perspective API to highlight the impact of media attacks on toxic language directed at women journalists online. https://www.brookings.edu/...
Charles Johnson / @green_footballs: They do know what will happen, and it's very deliberate. And yes, they are responsible. https://twitter.com/...
Catherine Rampell / @crampell: Based on my own experience, particularly in the past few days, these trends are unsurprising. But still quite useful to have data to quantify this phenomenon. https://twitter.com/...
Jeremy Barr / @jeremymbarr: I wrote a story about this last April: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Karl Bode / @karlbode: people enabling all of this stuff know exactly what they're doing, building, and profiting off of https://twitter.com/...
Dr. Courtney Radsch / @courtneyr: After Tucker Carlson mentioned NYT journalist Taylor Lorenz on air, harmful speech in her Twitter mentions rose 115% - and she's not alone. The @IWMF and @CSMaP_NYU investigate “The Tucker Carlson Effect” #onlineharassment #gender #disinformation https://www.brookings.edu/....
Kristofer Goldsmith / @krisgoldsmith85: Tucker Carlson (and Glenn Greenwald, who obsessively monitors Twitter for mentions of his name) knowingly endanger women journalists as if for sport. Their rampant sexism, and that of their disgusting fans, is extremely profitable for these small, insecure men. https://twitter.com/...
Kathleen Belew / @kathleen_belew: I'm confused about why a study was needed—is this just to verify the truth about what the targeted women have been telling us this whole time? https://twitter.com/...
Michele A. Berdy / @micheleberdy: What a reprehensible, disgusting man who incites other reprehensible, disgusting men. https://twitter.com/...
Jean Guerrero / @jeanguerre: Yep. Tucker's fans like to Google women he attacks, find their emails and spend time spewing hate full of misspellings & grammatical errors. https://twitter.com/...

Services revenue for Apple, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, brought in $19.5B in Q1, up from $15.8B a year ago — The tech giant reported a total of $123.9 billion in revenue, while Wall Street analysts expected the tech giant to make $118.3 billion.

A look at The Root under G/O: 15 of 16 staffers have quit since April due to myriad issues like a new EIC and blurred lines between advertising and editorial — When The Root launched as an offshoot of The Washington Post in 2008, it aimed to fill the gap between print and online media …

@gawker: Michael Harriot, who resigned in November, told Gawker: “As a staff, we came to the conclusion that, basically, The Root is over.” https://www.gawker.com/...
Michael Ballaban / @ballaban: The majority of the staff of Deadspin, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Jezebel, and now the Root have all quit under G/O Media. At what point does this just become a weird nonsensical mantra https://www.gawker.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Gita Jackson / @xoxogossipgita: sad. i loved the root. https://www.gawker.com/...
Nina Metz / @nina_metz: “But over the past year, 15 of the site's employees have left — a nearly 100 percent turnover since April, when it had 16 full-time staffers.” Wow I didn't realize it nearly a total turnover of the staff https://www.gawker.com/...
Christina Warren / @film_girl: This is really sad to see. Yet another G/O Media related death https://www.gawker.com/...
Paul Blest / @pblest: They never, ever understood what they were buying https://www.gawker.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Wes Fenlon / @wesleyfenlon: You have to give G/O Media bosses credit for being the most innovative in the biz when it comes to destroying beloved publications. No one else is operating on their level. https://www.gawker.com/...
Shanita Hubbard / @msshanitarenee: we know things at The Root are bad but to go on record say Vanessa is no different from a slave protecting their slave master is one hell of a thing to say about someone and remain anonymous. you can't take a public shot like that and hide ya hand. https://twitter.com/...
Stephen Crockett Jr / @sacrockettjr: It be your own people: https://www.gawker.com/...
Adam Weinstein / @adamweinstein: Starting to think this Spanfeller fellow may be an herb https://twitter.com/...
Dave Levitan / @davelevitan: Man, G/O Media is just a plague from @tarpleyhitt: https://www.gawker.com/...
Leah Finnegan / @leahfinnegan: Eight former and current Root staffers told Gawker that management seemed to want less of the overtly provocative work its writers were known for in favor of “a softer, gentler, more upbeat site.” @tarpleyhitt https://www.gawker.com/...
Ryan Cooper / @ryanlcooper: oh look, Jim Spanfeller flushed another flourishing website down the toilet https://www.gawker.com/...
@dariccott: 1. WTF 2. There's so many amazing journalists that got their start at The Root, so this is heartbreaking 3. WTF 4. This explains why my recent past applications never got a response 5. WTF 6. This is an incredibly structured piece 7. WTF 8. 30K pay gap?! 9. WTF 10. OMG, WTF https://twitter.com/...
Nathan Bernhardt / @jonbernhardt: entry number whatever in “spanfeller and his goons bought GMG as an explicit ideological project to thoroughly destroy it as a company and a brand, while making what money they could on the way out” https://www.gawker.com/...
Timothy Burke / @bubbaprog: We regularly had liquor brands do big buys/day sponsorships/tag sponsorships whatever & at no point were we ever told “you can't write about kids” or in fact that we ever could NOT write about anything. Everything about G/O is bizarre. https://www.gawker.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Benjamin McKean / @blmckean: “At times, it verged on absurd. For Mother's and Father's Day, they sold pieces to a liquor company. But because it was liquor, the corresponding articles couldn't reference children. 'We had to write all these Mother's Day pieces without talking about kids,' one editor said.” https://twitter.com/...
Kerry Flynn / @kerrymflynn: “Sometimes it seemed staff were being subtweeted by their own boss. In fairness, some did it back.” Important read by @tarpleyhitt on the mass exodus at G/O Media's The Root: https://www.gawker.com/...
