Summary
From sitting next to Bezos to fighting from outside The Washington Post, Karen Attiah refuses to give up. Karen Attiah went from a grad student cheering on the Arab Spring to The Washington Post’s Global Opinions editor who hired Jamal Khashoggi. When she was fired over benign comments about Charlie Kirk she took to the internet and continued to use her knowledge of technology to speak truth to power. In this episode, she chats with Rabble about how social media brought her to journalism, institutional power, the rise of authoritarianism, and how we could all use a little more fun in our lives. Now teaching, writing, and tweeting on multiple social media platforms of her own, Karen explains why it’s important to keep fighting.
