Media companies almost NEVER stand by their people once the ridicule factor begins to rub off on the company.
We’ll see. I’ve worked with reporters who have that woman’s attitude many times before, and usually everybody around the newsroom hates them, too. An incident like this sometimes gives management an opening to restore harmony amongst the troops.
