I was part of the 45% of the Washington Post newsroom recently laid off by the economically struggling Jeff Bezos. Over at BlueSky, I posted free no-reg archive links to 15 of my favorite stories from the past four years. Thanks for reading! https://bsky.app/profile/joemenn.bsky.social/post/3mfn7fnnfac27

Here we go. Free, no-reg versions of favorite stories from my four years at the Washington Post. First, three pieces from our Pulitzer-finalist series on how India's ruling party coerced U.S. tech giants into violating their own policies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/26/india-facebook-propaganda-hate-speech/

@JosephMenn @jmaris Best wishes for a soft landing from a fellow victim of newsroom layoffs, Joseph! I'm a software developer formerly employed with a major NPR affiliate.

I've always held WaPo in incredibly high regard, but - in the end - it's journalists who make a newsroom what it is. Their loss is somebody's gain, truly.

I hope to see more of your work on Mastodon.
