I just found an article from May that champions Dodai Stewart and says she was the leading candidate for editor. They really must not have liked something about her to have passed her over.
From the article:
"Stewart acknowledged that she's talked to (Gawker contributor Maureen) O’Connor, Johnson about the job, and Johnson told Capital she'd make an excellent candidate."
O'Connor was tapped for the job but passed it up.
"Jezebel founding editor Anna Holmes, who worked with Stewart from June 2007 until June 2010, told Capital that Stewart would be a good choice for editor in chief."
So that means she also had a very public recommendation from the founding editor, with whom she helped get the site off the ground...almost ten years ago.
Other than this source, Capital New York, and the black media (Ebony, the Grio), no news media organization has written anything about this. Let's consider the morality of that.
Feminists in places like the Washington Post and Salon will drone on about how Robin Thicke's music is supposedly "rapey" and why men need to sit differently on the subway. But they won't come to the defense of a woman who helped create the very brand on which they built their own writing!
