Pulitzer-winning cartoonist resigns from Washington Post over killed Bezos cartoon

Credited from: NPR

  • Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, has resigned from the Washington Post following the rejection of her cartoon targeting tech moguls, including Jeff Bezos, due to censorship concerns.
  • The cartoon satirized Bezos and other corporate leaders for their subservient relationship with President-elect Donald Trump during his election campaign.
  • Editorial Page Editor David Shipley stated the cartoon was not published due to an existing similar column scheduled for release, emphasizing editorial balance.
  • This incident follows a larger pattern of reader discontent, with 300,000 digital subscriptions canceled after Bezos blocked a political endorsement of Vice President Harris.
  • The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has publicly supported Telnaes, criticizing the influence of corporate owners on journalistic integrity.
