The Washington Post suspended political reporter Felicia Sonmez after she tweeted a link to a 2016 article regarding Kobe Bryant's 2003 rape case hours after his death. Sonmez received death threats and was doxxed, leading the Post to place her on administrative leave for what editors called a "lack of judgment." The newspaper later reinstated her following a protest from the Newsroom Union, which argued her tweets did not violate social media policy.
