Several establishment media outlets are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) cue by mandating vaccinated employees wear masks.
“Even though the overwhelming majority of Post employees have already provided proof of vaccination, I do not take this decision lightly,” Washington Post Publisher Frederick J. Ryan Jr. told staff. “However, in considering the serious health issues and genuine safety concerns of so many Post employees, I believe the plan is the right one.”
“The Post, which is owned by the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and employs more than 1,000 journalists, is planning for a Sept. 13 office return,” the New York Times continued. “Contractors and guests to the office would also be required to provide proof of vaccination, Mr. Ryan said. He said the company would provide accommodations for those with ‘documented medical conditions and religious concerns.'”
The Times also revealed CNN, “the most trusted name in news,” has “mandated full vaccinations for all employees working in its various offices and in the field.”
