We keep an eye out for the most interesting stories about Labby subjects: digital media, startups, the web, journalism, strategy, and more. Here’s some of what we’ve seen lately.
“A National Labor Relations Board judge will hear a complaint about the June 2022 firing of former Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez. Many unfair labor practice charges are filed before the board every year, but only a few result in complaints like this one being issued. Last year, for example, fewer than four percent of unfair labor practice charges resulted in complaints, while a little more than a quarter of them resulted in settlements. The Post fired Sonmez after she criticized then-fellow Post reporter Dave Weigel for retweeting a sexist joke.” —
