Washington Post joins other news outlets in laying off race-based journalists

Among the high-profile layoffs at The Washington Post this week was its race-based journalist.

Emmanuel Felton, who's X profile now describes himself as the "first and last race and ethnicity reporter" at the Post, revealed he was among the hundreds of staffers who were cut from the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper, though he claims his specific ouster "wasn't a financial decision."

"This comes six months after hearing in a national meeting that race coverage drives subscriptions," Felton posted Wednesday.
