Major changes are still occurring in the television news industry; MSNBC made headlines when it canceled The ReidOut and fired veteran host Joy Reid.
Although it is a part of a broader reorganization at the network, the move, which was made public by network president Rebecca Kutler on Monday,
Has generated discussion and criticism from both within and outside MSNBC. Rachel Maddow, the primetime host for MSNBC,
Has been one of the most outspoken opponents of Reid’s departure. Maddow expressed issues about the network’s treatment of backstage employees in addition to the on-air talent.
She brought attention to the difficulties experienced by authors and production crew workers, who must now reapply for employment, some of whom may lose their jobs completely.
