[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what's going on, but it sounds like she's been at NPR for over 20 years.  Maybe she needs a new challenge?  Or maybe it's NPR?  Not sure I understand Ari Shapiro's "it's a crisis" comment when AC was there for so many years.  Seems like she would want to explore something new, but I could be wrong.

I am OP - and I don't think it's normal for someone in her sort of position to make an abrupt announcement on Twitter that she's leaving in a week. That sounds like an "I don't want to deal with this sh*t anymore" sort of move. Someone who's been there as long as she has been would usually - I think - get, like, a month's worth of goodbyes, retrospectives, best ofs, all that. This sounds like a "see ya when I see ya" sort of move - which must have been prompted by something, I think.[/quote]

She’s cis-gender, old, and has a nuclear family.

Time to make space for someone more progressive.[/quote]

Those with gender dysphoria, young, and with dysfunctional families make up a small portion of the population. They are overly-represented at NPR.  [/quote]
