Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.

Truly no idea how you could even have a rational conversation with someone who thinks β€œgo die on the job so I, a stranger who hates journalism as a concept and will never trust your work anyway let alone pay for it, will deign to reconsider giving you my approval” is a reasonable thing to demand

I just saw someone yelling about the NYT’s new Iran correspondent and how she’s a fascist Christian nationalistβ€”literallyβ€”if she doesn’t go independent instead of working for a large news org. As a female foreign correspondent. In Iran. Right now.
