Sorry, that just cracked us TF up.
How many of them were furloughed due to the virus? How many were forced on unemployment or lost their jobs because they can’t be done from home? Really? But they are stronger than they know. We could see writing a letter like this to the nurses and doctors and grocery store clerks and UPS/FedEx/USPS drivers and the MULTITUDE of other workers who showed up for work every day. But journalists? Please.
Then again this is just a news director patting other newsy types on the back SO we’re not entirely surprised it’s completely tone-deaf.

Ratio: News director pens open letter to journalists ‘at the end of the toughest year of our careers’

We don’t think it’s even been a week since we did a post on journalists congratulating themselves. They seem to be needier than Hollywood actors when it comes to adoration, and if they need to come up with an award like the Dan Rather Medal for News and Guts to fill the void where their Pulitzer should be, then so be it. Speaking of Pulitzers, the great thing is you don’t have to give it back when the “story” you were chasing falls apart or your knowledge of history is a bit off.
