New York magazine audio editorial director Hanna Rosin tweeted about a new movie.

And then…

And then…

After deleting the tweet, Rosin issued an apology.

Vanity Fair carries the story.

Alison Bechdel has spoken. The cartoonist has weighed in on a debate sparked by a rogue tweet from New York magazine audio editorial director Hanna Rosin that criticized the gay Hulu rom-com Fire Island for failing to pass the Bechdel Test—a litmus test that judges films on whether they feature at least two female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man.

Pink News also reports.

The Bechdel Test, named after lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel, measures how many named women discuss something other than men in films and other media.

And then…

Sometimes with important decisions, it’s best to take a pause to further consider whether it’s the right decision at the right time.

This includes the Columbia Daily Tribune’s previously planned change from seven print days per week to three that we announced last month. For now, the Tribune will remain status quo with print editions every day.

Under a national decision by Gannett, which owns the Tribune and more than 200 other newspapers across the USA Today Network, all changes to the number of print editions published per week are being paused while the company analyzes new data and takes into consideration valuable input from our subscribers.

So not all Gannett decisions are carved in stone.
