Misconduct
Amidst the media storm around our nations #MeToo movement two new "prominent" journalists have been accused of misconduct and inappropriate advances toward their female coworkers. James Ronsen, formally with Fox News, was accused of establishing a "pattern of flirting aggressively with many peers and had made sexual advances towards 3 Fox News journalists, including two reporters and a producer." Joel Achenbach a Washington Post reporter was placed on a 90 day suspension following accusations of "unspecified misconduct involving current and former female colleagues".
There have not been many specifics as to what occurred and when Fox News and Washington Post were asked to respond they both gave blanket statements about continued investigation and further action if necessary. This type of conduct can not continue. Seeing large business like these take action towards allegations like these sets a precedence for this country that these types of advances and uncomfortable work environments will not be tolerated.
