A managing editor for the Associated Press (the AP) has defended the news wire’s decision to let go of its recently hired news associate Emily Wilder, saying that her activity on social media put the outlet’s credibility “at stake.”
“It’s really important that we maintain our credibility on these stories, and journalist safety is at stake and the AP’s credibility is at stake,” AP managing editor Brian Carovillano told CNN’s ”Reliable Sources” on Sunday.
