I’m a writer by vocation, went to journalism school, then ended up working in the News division at Google. Most people would’ve said I was safe and sound and earning more than a “regular” journalism job. My entire team was laid off as soon as Google jumped on the layoff bandwagon (2023). You’re right Isabella, there’s no stability anywhere! Good luck for everything 👊🏻
The best and worst part about journalism is that it's a mission-driven job that attracts mission-driven people. I was at NPR until I was laid off last fall, and the highs were incredibly high while the lows felt incredibly personal. Keep moving forward Isabella, you've got this
I proudly worked as a contractor for a federal agency for 10 years (Bush through Obama), and it is devastating to see people I respected and loved just axed for no reason. Re: live tweeting. When I was at the MTA (subways, baby!), Twitter (not X!) was stable enough to be used as an announcement service and a customer support line. That feels like a century ago. I love Outside magazine, and hope that Isabella will shine somewhere else soon.
