The British Aren't Coming. They're Here.

The news business in the United States is experiencing upheaval as the upcoming presidential election approaches. Many major American news organizations are facing financial challenges and political division. As a result, they have brought in British editors who prioritize cost-effective and relentless reporting. These British editors have taken charge of prominent publications such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Bloomberg News, The New York Post, and The Associated Press. The hiring trend has led to humor and speculation among industry insiders, with one editor jokingly referring to British editors as “the ultimate trophies for American billionaires.”
