Washington Post reverses prohibition on reporter from writing about sexual assault
The newspaper had earlier told Felicia Sonmez that she could not report on the topic because of her outspokenness about it.
Hasnain says:
I still don’t get why the post ever thought it was a good idea to do this in the first place.
“The Newspaper Guild, which represents Post employees, hailed The Post’s change of heart in a statement. “We’re glad to see The Post reverse its harmful stance and allow our colleague Felicia Sonmez to do her job,” it said. “But this decision came only after much public criticism and at the expense of Felicia’s mental health. The Post must do better. The company still has much work to do to rebuild trust — internally and externally — and cultivate an inclusive workplace for all.””
