This is so bleak: a metro news editor ridiculing a promising job applicant for saying she wants to write her own articles rather than letting AI do so.

We got into this business because we love both talking to people and digging AND then writing up what we learned.

It's both.

@victoriaslog To be clear it’s not my video, it’s from a friend of mine who sent it to me! Still terrible regardless

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge.

A story on The Washington Post staffers at the Main Media Centre in Milan:

I was laid off from The Post today, from a dream job working in visual investigations. I'm sad for affected colleagues and for the meaningful, impactful work we won't be able to complete together. But also...I'm stunned. Angry even.

January alone I investigated 2 fatal shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis and feel compelled to keep going. If you want to collaborate, please DM or signal.

I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028.

I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at [email protected].

[Aaron Wiener @aaronwiener]

Unfortunately the Washington Post has decided to eliminate its Berlin bureau and with it my job. It's been the honor and adventure of a lifetime to be Berlin bureau chief, even if just for 6 months.

So many great journalists have lost their jobs today. It's a dark day.

[Jada Yuan @jadabird]

Cried through the first take of this video. Our arts team was decimated, most arts reporters, most critics, in the mass layoffs at @washingtonpost. It's a sad day for anyone who cares about the arts — now for action, looking for work, ways to still support artists.

[Paul Schemm @PaulSchemm]

So I join the ranks of the WashPost laid off, including so much of the international staff, my Russia-Ukraine department has been gutted and some of the best people fired. What serious paper doesn't cover that conflict?

[Maad Alzekri | معد الزكري @MaadAlzekri]

I was laid off from the Associated Press after 7 years of being tenured, without any prior notice, after receiving 13 international awards for the war in Yemen, including the Pulitzer Prize as the first Arab journalist to receive it, along with a fantastic team and other awards. All my love to the team I worked with and my colleagues.
