Quote:We are speaking specifically about journalists.


Journalists do not have editorial power, as was my question to you.


Your term, managers, on the other hand are not journalists and do have editorial power.


The so called managers work specifically at the pleasure and discretion of the owners of the media organizations in question...


Would you agree with that?

 

Journalist don't have much power, as I pointed out. Hugh Hewitt had to argue with the manager to get his story published. Journalists, 9 out of 10 who are Democrats, eventually get promoted to managers.

 

I don't know how you can imply that journalist managers were not previously journalists of some type in the journalistic field. There isn't much content on this topic, but the following article implies that journalists do make their way to becoming editors and managers. http://ajr.org/2014/05/21/develop-newsroom-editors/

 

"So journalists of all stripes find themselves tossed into the management role without being prepared for its manifold demands."

 

As for managers working at the discretion of the owners, I think that depends. Bezos obviously has beef with Trump and it shows with the obvious bias of the Washington Post. However Rupert Murdoch is a Hillary Clinton supporter and donor, but (sort of) lets Fox treat Trump favorably.
