Emily Wilder spent only 16 days as a news associate before the AP terminated her for violating the company's social media policy. "It was really devastating," she said.
"They told me I showed clear bias," she said, but the AP wouldn't specify the tweets.

The AP reviewed Wilder's social media after the Stanford College Republicans and several right-leaning publications called her out.
Wilder: "To me, it feels like AP folded to the ridiculous demands and cheap bullying of organizations and individuals."

The Associated Press initially declined to discuss the termination but then confirmed that “she was dismissed for violations of AP’s social media policy during her time at AP.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
Wilder also critiqued social media policies more broadly, saying that “these social media policies are so nebulous, almost by design, so that they can be selectively enforced . . . in a way that polices and harms the most vulnerable journalists among us.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/05/…
