This from @Yamiche, who has covered these stories as closely as anyone...

I’ve literally felt all consuming physical pain for days. Then one of my brothers posted a photo from a protest and I felt fear like never before in my life. Fear I’d wish on no one https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/george-floyd-and-the-special-hell-reserved-for-black-journalists-covering-his-killing

On top of it all, black journalists have been the ones within media warning desperately for years this was an urgent crisis. Reply from some in our field has been to question our journalism ethics and “objectivity” -- to call us, essentially, hysterical liars. We warned you all

For clarity, that screenshot was from Yamiche. The anecdotes below it were my own

I’ve had many supportive colleagues. And also, on the literal day my team won a Pulitzer for a project on police violence that I pitched & championed, Washingtonian reported that my own colleagues were *reaching out to reporters* to say I didn’t know how to do journalism

That screenshot hung at the computer monitor above my desk until the day I packed up my notebooks and left the newsroom

One of those “older Post journalists” wrote a front page article just yesterday waxing poetic about the need for “healers” in this moment. I’ll end this thread here
