Detail from inside the gutting of the Washington Post: 300 journalists or so will be fired this AM at 8:30 AM (right now…). They’ll be cut off from newsroom computer access at 9 AM. Word got out about this yesterday afternoon. Dozens of reporters & journalists worked late last night & early this AM to finish stories they had in process before being shut out. That’s who works at the Post. No surprise. <I interviewed these people — this is a good, valuable story. Let me just get it done…before I lose my job & worry about how to pay my rent.> One last story. — 30 —
