I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.

musk by use of violence keeps these journalists from:
- publishing for their respective employers
- setting up a blog
- running their own instance of their favorite fediverse software
- join any of the many servers available. preferably the biggest one because that shows how much they understood the value of the distributed nature of the fediverse in the light of the things happening with twitter.
