Meghan Murphy speaks with Andy Mills, a journalist, host of Reflector, and co-creator of The Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Any was working at the New York Times when an accusation of “abuse” forced him to resign. His illustrious and well-deserved career was taken from him in a moment over minor past infractions. Andy recovered, of course, and is forging forward in journalism, but the experience impacted him deeply.
We spoke about what journalism needs, what “bigotry” really means, what being cancelled feels like, why he loves scary movies (and Taylor Swift) and more.
