Today is an awful anniversary. Evan Gershkovich shouldn't have spent a day in jail, let alone a year, just for doing his job as a Wall Street Journal reporter.

WSJ staffers & friends in SF have joined colleagues worldwide this week to show our support for Evan & his family.

One year.

His story should be here.

Evan has been unjustly detained in a Russian prison for almost 1 full year now with no end in sight.

He deserves to come home. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

New: Google's genAI search has sent publishers scrambling to prepare for a significant disruption in organic search traffic, ranging from 20% to 60%, according to sources. This translates to a $2B annual ad revenue loss.

I was mid-story when struck down by a corporate layoff. Thank you to Eliza Collins, Ben Pershing and my wonderful former WSJ coworkers for seeing this one through. Hard to just walk away, even when you’re instructed to do so.

Jeanne Cummings is a remarkable journalist and person. I am in awe of her career, and I know she has similarly inspired many others...

Beyond that, all I can say is that I’m devastated for the WSJ newsroom that I have loved. I really appreciate all the supportive messages.
