Last week, Jason Tashea, who had a law degree and occasionally wrote tech-oriented pieces for the Journal, dropped off the masthead. Now the only remaining "Legal Affairs Writer" is Amanda Robert, a 2019 newbie to the Journal, who has no law degree, but boasts "journalism" credentials with "a certificate in social justice." The "Copy Editor" posts have also been winnowed down, and the cadaverous Sarah Mui, who was kicked down the masthead from "Assistant Managing Editor" to "Chief Copy Editor" now has only one minion to supervise. Of course, the quality of writing at the Journal is obviously so strong they don't need a bunch of copy editors, right? Overall, the bizarrely top-heavy structure is continuing, with nine "editors" in various capacities and only three writers. This seems particularly puzzling now that the magazine is only going to be publishing half as often. There continues to be no outward sign of any work activity by the majority of the staff.
