Joan Walsh Career

When the online magazine Salon launched in 1998, Walsh became its first news editor. She was editor-in-chief from 2005 to 2010. In 2015, she left Salon for The Nation, and would become the publication's national affairs correspondent.

Walsh worked at MSNBC for a total of twelve years, six of them under contract. On December 23, 2017, Walsh said MSNBC had chosen not to renew her contract, which the network described as a decision made because of an annual review. In their statement, MSNBC also said that "Unfortunately we couldn’t renew Joan, but she and her distinct perspective will still be invited on our shows."

MSNBC's decision to not renew Walsh's contract prompted critical reactions from other MSNBC personalities, including Joy Reid and Chris Hayes. Some of Walsh's supporters also protested MSNBC's decision using the Twitter hashtag #KeepJoanWalsh.

Later that day, Walsh tweeted that she would move to CNN in 2018, which was soon confirmed by a CNN spokeswoman. While at CNN, Walsh pushed back against former Donald Trump staffer Marc Short for accusing her of being anti-religious.

It was announced on December 14, 2020 that her contract with CNN would not be renewed. Walsh stated in response:

On April 1, 2018, Kyle Kashuv, a witness of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, tweeted that Walsh "liked" a tweet criticizing him. She replied, "Are you really policing who 'likes' tweets from a grieving Parkland father who lost his daughter? Good luck handling your stress, Kyle."
