Multiplatform editor for @washingtonpost. Former Texan. Former Californian. Frequently use my sons as comedy props.

High praise, I think. Or maybe not.

@sandrasantos Glad you didn't see La Llorona.

@jesusrodriguezb @NewYorker I aspire to be Today's News, preferably for a positive reason like you. ¡Felicidades!

Bezos says in planning the layoffs he didn't tell leadership which departments to layoff, only to "follow the data" with exception to investigative reporting.

My questions are:

1. Did *award-winning* valuable, investigative reporting and exclusives not come out of Sports? Video? Graphics and visual forensics? Post Reports audio? The list goes on?

2. You mean to tell me audiences are now suddenly paying for the overhauled Opinions section (which is separate from the newsroom) to watch unseasoned vodcasts spew a singular libertarian point of view?

“Eggs and cheese is not gonna get you any Latino voters.” Said by a panel of non-Texans/non-Latinos who don’t realize that potato, egg & cheese is the QUINTESSENTIAL breakfast taco order in Texas.

I am BEGGING CNN/national media to reach out to local Latino reporters even once.

@DominguezCinco It would probably be just me and a couple of dudes from the Valley.

@TimMeade1289016 @asherperlman @rorysutherland Depends on whether the writers own the business or are merely employees.

[Shane Harris @shaneharris]

If you’ve got doubts about the apolitical culture of a newsroom—and if you’re on here, you probably do—read this account from someone who had never worked in journalism before a career change brought him to the Post. I worked with Chris on one of the biggest investigative projects the Post took on in 2023 (The Discord Leaks). Not only was he a natural, we never would have been so successful without the analytic skills and deep knowledge Chris brought to our team. It was precisely because he had skills that we reporters did not that we nailed this story and smoked our competitors. The Post was always like that: innovative, collaborative, consistently finding new ways to illuminate the truth. So when people in the cheap seats, or worse, at the top of the company, try to tell you the Post was hidebound, slow-moving, resistant to change, know that they are utterly, hopelessly full of shit.

It takes all of us to make The Washington Post. Every section works together to create this authoritative, entertaining, worldwide news report.

So, @JeffBezos: #SaveThePost.

[Sue Owen @aggiejournalist]

I'm gonna be an AUTHOR!! My book on Texas Aggie traditions has been approved by @TAMUPress! I'll know more soon but want to share joy with all y'all and gratitude for @AggieNetwork, for Dr. Loftin '71 @aggieprez writing the foreword, and everyone who's helped me 😊😊😊 WHOOP!!!

@karavoght I expect a full fashion report later.
"Mr Kennedy, who are you wearing?"

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Layoffs are not a business strategy.
We have the proof, @JeffBezos. 🧵

#SaveThePost

[Arelis R. Hernández @arelisrhdz]

I don’t know what will happen
next week at the @washingtonpost. But I know @JeffBezos can stop it and #SaveThePost.

To be a steward of this institution means safeguarding the essential work of metro, sports and foreign journalists. We can’t do it w/o them and all our coworkers

[Martin Weil @martyweilwapost]

we are not judging the efficacy of snow clearance techniques. but for anyone trying to clear a passage in these frozen times, we offer this literary mantra from Coleridge: "The ice was here, the ice was there, the ice was all around" Does it show the consolations of reading?

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

#SaveThePost, @JeffBezos.

[Loveday Morris @LovedayM]

Today a source warned me that my reporting lines could have me killed. Just an average day as a foreign correspondent. I can’t count the number of times I’ve come under fire or had windows rattle from blasts. Our international staff risk so much to bring home news. #SaveThePost
