Episode 98: #EbonySTILLOwes
from Jay Scott Confidential Hosted by Jay Scott Smith
The 98th Episode of The People's Podcast hits one of the bigger scandals in the history of the Black Press: Ebony Magazine's failure to pay its Freelancers and -- now -- its staff. Our guests for this episode are former Social Media manager Josh David and former reporter Jasmine Washington, the young man and young woman who (along with a host of others) were fired from Ebony on June 7 after going without pay for months. (Interview Begins at 21:30). They talk about what happened, how much Josh is owed, what they told Jasmine when she was hired, how it was being the Social Media Manager when #EbonyOwes jumped off, and a ton more. We go there. Plus: Jay talks about how Ebony is not the only ones who owe as not paying freelancers and shaming them into silence is an unfortunate problem in the Black press.
