.Jonah Peretti will soon gut another newsroom, this time HuffPost. The cuts we heard about this week would devastate our news-gathering operation, just as Trump prepares to take office. It's a tough business and I'm not naive about cuts - but is he also another exec bowing to MAGA?
Welp. I've been laid off. I'm so proud of my work at HuffPost. But I want to give a shout out to my Culture crew Taryn Finley Marina Fang (same handle at Bluesky) IAMNJERA, and to Erin E. Evans for holding us down for as long. It's rare to be on a team with all women of color. We were amazing together.
One of the saddest things about leaving HuffPost is that I was so excited to be writing WITH Alexander C. Kaufman & Chris D'Angelo instead of chasing their scoops frantically. The publication lost it's entire climate unit today, and two really incredible men at their craft
A statement from the HuffPost Union Writers Guild of America East on this week’s job cuts
Briefly back to say: yesterday, I was laid off after 10 years at HuffPost. I’m obviously gutted. But once I take a breath, I’ll be open to jobs & freelance work, both in journalism and outside of it, given the state of our industry. [email protected]; Signal: marinafang.72
After 9 years at HuffPost, today is my last day. I’ve grown so much & I’m grateful for the journey. This has been a dream job. Now on to new dreams. I’ll still be writing/hosting/moderating, just doing it as a freelancer for now. Pitch + commission me at [email protected].
