WWD in turmoil after staffer behind grievance forum canned
NY Post
Already depressed morale at “fashion bible” WWD hit a new low when a reporter behind a forum letting staffers vent their grievances was unceremoniously canned last week, Media Ink has learned.
Los Angeles-based reporter Kali Hays was let go after four years at the Penske Media-owned fashion trade publication on April 19 amid pressure to delete an online document she had created originally for staffers to talk about newsroom issues, but which devolved into a forum for relentless complaints about the company’s management, including allegations of anti-Semitism, sexism and a general lack of diversity, sources said. Hays, a media and retail reporter who had been dispatched by WWD to LA two years earlier with a promotion to senior reporter, was informed about her last day on the job by editorial director Jim Fallon. No reason was given, sources said.More Related News

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
