Mayor Bruh? - article
Excerpt below.....
In a tweet that would change the trajectory of her career, Mangrum wrote the following: “Bruh, national news is always going to chase the trend. Cultivate relationships with quality local news partnerships.”
“He was going after local media for their coverage of crime,” Mangrum tells me two weeks later, “and I saw some of my colleagues responding to him, tweeting out stories the
Dallas Morning News has done, saying, ‘Hey, Mr. Mayor, you know this isn’t quite fair.’”
Mangrum adds, “Standing up for my colleagues and the work that we do, when I know we’re doing good and honest work, is something I pride myself on and something that I look for in my colleagues and in my workplace as well.”
That’s not the way her workplace saw it. Three days after she sent that tweet, she was fired for addressing the mayor as “bruh.”
