It’s time once again for Media Guy’s Quarterly(-ish) Media Studies Pop Quiz. Here’s the first question:

The Washington Post recently announced a new social-media policy stipulating that its “journalists must refrain from writing, tweeting or posting anything — including photographs or video — that could be perceived as reflecting political, racial, sexist, religious or other bias or favoritism that could be used to tarnish our journalistic credibility.” In addition, “This same caution should be used when joining, following or friending any person or organization online.” What, in effect, does this mean?

A. Washington Post reporters are a bunch of opinionated, biased, partisan, racist, sexist atheists (or, possibly, Wiccans) who should be thankful they have thoughtful, proactive bosses who are willing to protect them from their worst impulses.

B. In the cyber cafeteria, the Washington Post is now relegated to sitting by itself at that one table with the wobbly leg in the corner by the trash bins — and not even Mrs. Musbocker, the lunch lady, is nice to it anymore.

C. Increased sales of My Little Pony Secret Diary With Locket at D.C.-area Toys ‘R’ Us stores.
