A bit more media.
USA Today fires Hemal Jhaveri. “This is not about bias … It’s about challenging whiteness and being punished for it.” In her eight years with USA Today, the organization never offered formal support or protection from harassment, says former editor Hemal Jhaveri. But Jhaveri was fired after she “sent a tweet responding to the fact that mass shooters are most likely to be white men” a tweet she now calls “a careless error of judgment” and deleted. Jhaveri wrote on Medium about what happened when her tweet was picked up by the alt-right.
USA Today, like so many other newsrooms, has been vocal about trumpeting its commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion. And yet, doing the actual work of diversity, equality and inclusion necessitates engaging with complicated structural issues that should make white audiences uncomfortable. In this case, after I made one mistake, the company contradicted their commitment to DEI and wilted upon criticism.
Kesha Seizes on New Free Speech Law for Counterattack Against Dr. Luke Billboard 7 hrs ago Kesha
Kesha Rose Sebert still has a new move to show off in a legal battle against producer
Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald. On Tuesday, in a defamation battle that has seemingly lasted forever (really seven years), the pop star asked the court’s permission to assert a new counterclaim based on New York’s recently enacted anti-SLAPP law.
Since 2014, Dr. Luke has been pursuing Kesha with the claim that she has smeared him with false rape allegations. He’s largely been winning. Her previous counterclaims were rejected, and then in Feb. 2020, Dr. Luke scored many advantages on summary judgment including the judge’s conclusion that he wasn’t a public figure and that the singer published a false statement when she texted Lady Gaga that he had also raped Katy Perry.
