Washington Post Forgets To Renew Domain, Reporters Can't Email
from the ooops dept
These days, many reporters rely on email in order to interview people and find out information for stories. What do they do when their email system disappears, though? Perhaps we should ask the reporters at the Washington Post who discovered that their email addresses no longer worked after someone forgot to renew their washpost.com domain name, which they use for email. Considering the new registration requirements for the WashingtonPost.com, I wonder if this means the reporters couldn't read their own site.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
