Thinking of all our journalist friends today at TC. It's been a tough year in journalism. Hoping the tide turns - we need good journalism, and we can only have that if we have good journalists with good jobs & pay. https://t.co/27yqDkZyYD

morgan is one of the best in the beat. this is insane. no one does internet culture like her!! HIRE MORGAN!! https://t.co/s0iE33grHy
Morgan is amazing, truly one of the internet culture greats. she understands platforms, gets why fandom stuff matters on the internet, and has built an incredible body of work across TechCrunch/NBC/Mashable/more. an asset to any newsroom, you should hire her immediately https://t.co/FGEPIXqaIG
Personal news: I was laid off at TechCrunch today along with a handful of Ops, Biz and editorial folks. All the best. TechCrunch has been my home since 2008. I grew up at TC. I traveled the world with TC. I became the fucking best at TechCrunch and it's their loss. DMs open.
I’m gonna throw up. Morgan is literally the most talented, most skilled and thoughtful reporter on this beat. This is like if Michael Jordan was available during his prime. Hire her immediately. You will never have an opportunity like this again!!! https://t.co/hHiiRCeaGw
