NBC News: Washington Post reverses suspension of reporter who tweeted about Kobe Bryant
A managing editor wrote that while the reporter’s tweets were “ill-timed,” she was not in “clear and direct violation of our social media policy.”
After being reinstated Felicia Sonmez remarked, “I believe that Washington Post readers and employees, including myself, deserve to hear directly from Marty Baron on the newspaper’s handling of this matter.”
I hope Washington Post newsroom leaders will not only prioritize their employees’ safety in the face of threats of physical harm but also ensure that no journalist will be punished for speaking the truth.
