I worked with several of the people on that list when I was at the WSJ - top-tier professionals, every one. My heart goes out to all of them. This is awful, not just for the people involved but for journalism. https://t.co/VVEWh6P8q2
the last few weeks of layoffs have been horrible. the wsj looks so incredibly shortsighted here. the people on this list are incredible, and i've looked up to them and their work for years. https://t.co/vuO3pVrtNT

This is devastating. Please hire my @WSJ colleagues who were laid off yesterday. https://t.co/X54F8pGqD7
The WSJ had some of the best US-China reporting and I do not know what possible logic there is to closing that bureau in DC. Nuts.

I really feel for reporters losing their jobs such as those at the WSJ. Having survived layoffs at U.S. News & World Report + having experienced pay cuts, job instability was always top of mind. Journalism can be such a great job. But I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who…

So bummed about all my friends and former colleagues at the WSJ laid off today. What a body blow.
The WSJ laid off many of my friends, colleagues and editors in the DC bureau today. These are some outstanding, seasoned, expert journalists who helped us do great work. If you’re hiring, there are some excellent folks now on the journalism job market in Washington.
So sad for my former colleagues in the WSJ DC bureau. https://t.co/UG4bGsNTLA
