Newsroom leaders' top-down control over what gets published is nothing new. @laubast.bsky.social prev. investigated how newsrooms killed stories on Israel's genocide in Gaza. “The way they killed my material was violent to me … emotionally triggering & unethical," said photojournalist Eman Mohammed.
