This is completely tangential, but is it usual for someone to be a contractor (rather than a direct employee) of a press organization for that long? Sounds like a way of avoiding having to give them benefits.

With alt text.

Photo of a press pass that has been sliced through diagonally. For the past eight years I have worked as a stringer for Reuters news agency. My photos covering stories in the prairie provinces have been published by the New York Times, Al Jazeera, and other media outlets across North America, Asia, Europe, and elsewhere. At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more. When Israel murdered Anas Al-Sharif, together with the entire Al-Jazeera crew in Gaza City on August 10, Reuters chose to publish Israel's entirely baseless claim that Al-Sharif was a Hamas operative - one of countless lies that media outlets like Reuters have dutifully repeated and dignified. Reuters' willingness to perpetuate Israel's propaganda has not spared their own reporters from Israel's genocide. Five more journalists, including Reuters cameraman Hossam Al-Masri, were among 20 people killed this morning in another attack on Nasser hospital. It was what's known as a Western media is directly culpable for creating the conditions in which this can happen. As Jeremy Scahill from Drop Site News put it, It did not compel them to come to his defence when he appealed to international media for protection after an Israeli military spokesperson posted a video making clear their intention to assassinate him following a report he did on the growing famine. It did not compel them to report on his death honestly when he was hunted and killed weeks later. I have valued the work that I brought to Reuters over the past eight years, but at this point I can't conceive of wearing this press pass with anything but deep shame and grief. I don't know what it means to begin to honour the courage and sacrifice of journalists in Gaza - the bravest and best to ever live - but going forward I will direct whatever contributions I have to offer with that front of mind.

A Reuters press card identifying photographer Valerie Zink sits on a table. The card is cut in half. For the past eight years I have worked as a stringer for Reuters news agency. My photos covering stories in the prairie provinces have been published by the New York Times, Al Jazeera, and other media outlets across North America, Asia, Europe, and elsewhere. At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza.

@reuters.com just happens to be the employer she quit, but what she describes, the credulous conveyor belt of lies uncritically repeated without reporting whether it’s true, is an indictment of all major media outlets on all subjects they cover.

Correct. For so long american outlets specifically have had to avoid using correct terminology because of “alliances” but when diplomacy becomes a barrier to human rights it’s no longer diplomacy but aiding and abetting war crimes.
