Post's Editorial Shift Leads to Attiah's Termination

Karen Attiah was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Her termination followed a month-long standoff with the new opinion editor due to conservative shifts and staff exodus.
The Post accused her Bluesky posts of being unacceptable and endangering colleagues' safety, but she denied the charges.
Attiah defended freedom and democracy in a Substack post, expressing sadness and fear over political violence.
The firing reflects tensions over editorial direction, social media use, and conflicts about political violence and journalistic standards.
