Reposted by Saraya HaddadSophie Perry @sophieperryportfolio.com · 03/04/2026Just for the record, had we - the editorial team who were made redundant - still been working, there is no way a piece of PR lip service like this would be published with such an astonishing lack of critical context. Its abhorent, but not surprising, given the 'reporter-free' newsroom model. 112825

Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why? 5931383

I worked at PinkNews for a long time, first as a freelancer, then as a news reporter, and later as a special reports & features writer. I worked with incredible people who cared passionately about what they were doing, but the company’s leadership was never on our side. 031

In my redundancy consultation, I was told the brand is "moving away from having a reporter-led newsroom". How can they make journalism without journalists? I have no clue either. 🤷♀️ 🧵 1/ 918254

Saraya Haddad @sarayahaddad.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Comments like this one on Joanne's most recent Twitter dog-whistle (this time attacking asexual individuals on International Asexuality Day, no less) prove exactly why we need to be educated more about asexuality.
