One of the frustrating things to me about the distaste for Sarah’s old tweets from establishment journalists and editors is the refusal to acknowledge the role they played in encouraging/requiring young writers to build their “personal brands” with voicy and brash tweets

Anyways I’m really grateful I have a job now and don’t feel like I have to flay my feelings for my supper and also I hope the mindset of the Verge statement sets a new bar for folks in the industry to think about our digital reality in a better way

If you think selling out basic human decency for $150 is either defensible or someone else’s fault, then you should not be a journalist. Nor shd Jeong. This isn’t about “racism”, or about being “provocative”. She went out of her way to harass anyone who corrected a factual error.

As for “building a brand”, that might qualify one to be a corporate shill. It does not qualify one to be a journalist. In fact, it is the exact opposite skill set needed. Journalism is about the facts, nit about you or your “image”. Your tweet is quite revealing. Unfortunately.

This sounds exactly like an excuse any garbage right wing writer could use. Oh, say
@benshapiro or the like. Not buying it. She said what she said and the thing is, she said it so many times that it's hard not to believe she meant it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So what you are saying is you are just another incarnate of Milo, who was banned from twitter. Different provacative words but still just provocateurs.

I believe that if a person is racist-sexist-etc and someone wants to hire them bc the are a good writer - I’m fine with that. I trust that the organization will make the decision in its best interests. I prob wont read it, but surely that is calculated in the decision...

Provocative and edgy are one thing. Aggressively vitriolic and racist are another.
