I’m obviously boiling and have too much to say on this subject. But for now I’ll just say my heart is with the entire Jez staff who just got laid off, including incredible abortion reporters at a time when the beat couldn’t be more relevant to national politics. Please hire them.
Media news: G/O Media is shutting down Jezebel after failing to find a buyer. Memo just went out from Jim Spanfeller:

Thanks to my lawyers who worked years to arrive at this settlement. I hope it helps deter future assaults on journalists and can be used as a benchmark in other 1A cases. You're free to film law enforcement without fear of injury or your device getting broken. It is our right.
Breaking news: @LAist's @josie_huang, represented by attorneys from @rcfp and @gibsondunn, reached a settlement with LA County and the LA County Sheriff’s Department that sets a new benchmark for journalists whose rights are violated by law enforcement. rcfp.org/josie-huang-la-coun…
