CultureWashington Post ordered to rehire Karen Attiah after Charlie Kirk posts

An independent arbitrator ordered The Washington Post to reinstate opinion columnist Karen Attiah and provide back pay, ruling that the paper lacked adequate cause to dismiss her. Attiah was fired in September 2025 over social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, which the Post said breached its social media policy.
