This front pager from @CraigLaBan on Jesse and Matt Ito is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing I’ve seen in a long time. Highly recommend to everyone in the Philly region!

.@CraigLaBan Hercules Posey self-emancipated from @MountVernon on this day in 1797. I am nominating Hercules for @PHMC historical marker. I hope you will write a letter in support of the nomination of the nation’s first celebrity chef. #BlackHistoryMonth

This piece by Peggy Noonan on the demise of the Washington Post is worth your time. I gifted it so you can read it. “Finally, losing the one major newspaper left in the great nation’s capital—and during the Trump administration no less, during a time of the easy abuse of standards and traditions, of inching up to and then inching over the law, in a pattern that promises not to get better but worse—is more than a Jeffersonian nightmare, it is a kind of sin. The kind history doesn’t easily forgive.” wsj.com/opinion/a-lame…

The value destruction going on at the Washington Post today is beyond comprehension. These people trained their entire lives to be the best in the profession and an arrogant, clueless management team has just chosen to incinerate their contributions to the world and the business.

Other examples: The Boston Globe, the Minnesota Star Tribune, which is doing stellar work under horrendous circumstances as we speak. The owners of the Picayune/Advocate are supporting a growing statewide news operation. It can be done and Bezos has resources. This is a choice.
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan

NY Times, Philly Inquirer, and a host of local nonprofits have found success in this volatile media age. The failures of the Washington Post are purely on Jeff Bezos and the leadership he hired there. Total brand damage, completely self-destructive.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

“This is a tragic day for American journalism, the city of Washington, and the country as a whole. I'm grieving for reporters I love and whose work upheld the truest and most noble callings of the profession” - @JStein_WaPo “They are being punished for mistakes they did not cause.”

I stand with our members who were laid off today and with those left behind to pick up the pieces. The Post’s mission — to hold power to account without fear or favor — cannot be fulfilled without investing in the workers who carry it out. #SaveThePost @WBNG32035

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

Hi @JeffBezos, what you did today to the Washington Post is a monstrosity. It should be criminalized. Maybe Amazon is a shopping mall, Blue Origin a travel agency, but the Post isn’t a utility. It’s a legacy, a piece of history, an American institution. If you don’t respect that and can’t be trusted to sustain it, you should hand it over to someone who does.
