Louise Mensch / @louisemensch: This is so callous. Just disgusting by the New York Times. “Oh well, he wasn't working for us he was just wearing an old badge of ours”. RIP Mr. Renaud. Needlessly dead, in a needless war waged solely for the ego of Vladimir Putin. https://twitter.com/...
Edward Wong / @ewong: Brent Renaud produced important videos for the @nytimes & worked with his brother Craig. Here's an interview w/ them after their video on child survivors of the Haiti quake won a big award. He was shot dead by Russian soldiers. A partner was injured. 1/2. https://vimeo.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Elizabeth Maline / @elizabethmaline: Thinking of my professor, Juan Arredondo, who was injured while reporting in Irpin, Ukraine https://twitter.com/...
@coreypein: Notably the only editor who's spoken about this had to be reminded of the contributor's relationship to the paper https://twitter.com/...
Vivian Schiller / @vivian: @cliffordlevy @nytimes Cliff, Brent Renaud's ties to the Times date back to 2004 when he and his brother Craig directed the 10-part documentary series “Off to War” for the Discovery Times Channel (which NYT owned and I ran). Please know that his Times roots run deep. Such tragic news.
@coreypein: Cliff Levy, who sourced the quote at the top of this thread, is not getting off easy in his replies, either. People are wondering about this strange, cold language and the word “but.” https://twitter.com/...
@coreypein: “Brent was a talented photographer and filmmaker, but he was not on assignment for @nytimes in Ukraine.” “On assignment” is a little murky. Did they buy any of his photos? Did any editor tell him they would if he got X? https://twitter.com/...
@isik5: @NYTimesPR Let me fix the wording for your PR team. “Even though Brent wasn't on an assignment at NYT in Ukraine, he was a talented filmmaker and an esteemed colleague. We're deeply saddened for his loss and our thoughts go to his family and colleagues.” - Not so hard right?
Andrew Revkin / @revkin: Amid all the awful news, this loss. The price of free flows of information from conflict zones is huge. https://twitter.com/...
Guy Verhofstadt / @guyverhofstadt: Journalists put their lives on the line to document Putin's war crimes. They are the best of us.

@kdurquiza: Juan Arredondo is the photo journalist @arrejuan who was with Brent Renaud in Ukraine. It seems he has also been injured. I hope he heals quickly. When I think of Putin, I see red. When will this end? Why? What will the punishment be? https://twitter.com/...
@columbiajourn: It is with great sadness that we report the death of Brent Renaud, half of the #duPontColumbiaAwards winning team with his brother Craig Renaud. Multiple reports Brent was shot and killed in Irpin, Ukraine while reporting the story. A terrible loss. https://www.cbsnews.com/...
Dawn Scott / @dawnerscott: One of the finest journalists I've ever known. An Arkansan- killed by Russian forces while covering war. I am heartbroken 💔 https://www.cbsnews.com/...
Eric Hynes / @eshynes: Heartbroken by this news. Brent was a lovely man, and such a committed filmmaker. For several years he and his brother made their hometown of Little Rock an unlikely mecca for independent film, matching together two communities he loved. https://twitter.com/...

Nicholas Kristof / @nickkristof: Heartbreaking to learn of the death in Ukraine of American journalist Brent Renaud.

Marcus Yam / @yamphoto: Just made it safely out of Irpin. Back to cell reception. Just catching up with messages and updates. Sad to hear about this news. RIP Brent Renaud. #Ukraine https://www.nytimes.com/...
Paul Rieckhoff / @paulrieckhoff: Brent Renaud was a brilliant, courageous and kind person. He told the stories of the forgotten ones.

Sources: Insider's global managing editor told its departing staff to stop sending goodbye emails as many high-ranking employees left over the past few months — In early 2021, the Wall Street Journal ran a story titled: “Business Insider Did Nothing When the Pandemic Hit. It Worked."
Discussion:
Christina Warren / @film_girl: Because telling people not to send goodbye emails (which I know this wasn't actually doing, but I've seen that directive before) doesn't actually improve morale.
Christina Warren / @film_girl: On the one hand, spamming your entire company with your goodbye message if you aren't someone who has had an integral role in the company feels excessive. On the other hand, this feels like the sort of thing managers should encourage their staff to do rather than an org-wide memo https://twitter.com/...
