Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.
It was a sad day for journalism when Bezos bought the Washington Post.
Every employee of WaPo should have quit that day.
I wish they could start a collective. Their reporting was great; the editorial board and publisher lwere terrible.
