New at Media Nation: A riveting Boston Globe story about a medical disaster with ties to the local news crisis. The common denominator: the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management. #journalism https://dankennedy.net/2024/01/29/a-riveting-boston-globe-story-about-a-medical-disaster-with-ties-to-the-local-news-crisis/
@brianpierce @dankennedy_nu I'm swearing basically every paragraph reading this one. I don't have any other words.
Another article that further explains how Steward left this and many other hospitals broke.
Hadn't paid enough attention to know if Steward was a "Boston media darling". Would you agree?
"Erstwhile Boston media darling Steward Health Care has been strip-mining hospitals for a decade now. The power elite may finally be paying attention."

@brianpierce I have zero insight into why the Prospect would call Steward a "media darling.” Seems kind of weird.
@dankennedy_nu
Not a journalism expert but while the Prospect article was useful, it seemed more of an opinion piece.
