Taylor Lorenz, a tech culture columnist, has announced her departure from The Washington Post to launch her own publication on Substack called User Mag. Lorenz, known for her coverage of the attention economy and the content creator industry, expressed her desire for complete autonomy in her writing. The move follows reports of her controversial actions, including posting an image of President Biden with the caption 'war criminal' on Instagram. Lorenz's new publication aims to cover technology from the user side and will be available through subscriptions. This move comes amid massive layoffs at The Washington Post, and User Mag will be published 1-3 times a week.
