Last but not least: I quit
The 25-year-old US journalist Marina Shifrin has also expressed her dissatisfaction with the quality of the media. And resigned from her job as a news video producer in absolutely cinematic fashion.
In a video, Shifrin informs her boss of her dismissal while dancing to a song by Kanye West. Her boss is only interested in getting as many clicks as possible on the agency's news videos. He doesn't care about content. For once in her life, she wanted to make her own video with a real message.

Marina's boss responded with a video that was almost as humorous:

In a Interview Marina gave to the Huffiington PostIt becomes clear that the dance video really was a spontaneous action in the early hours of the morning after a night of work. Marina was then motivated by friends and family to actually publish the private joke video. She thought her boss would find it funny. That was not the case.
Marina takes a positive view of the whole thing: she wants to develop more in the direction of comedy and creative writing anyway. Thanks to the video, she has received several requests for freelance work - including from Queen Latifah. According to her Twitter profile, Marina is currently also working as a babysitter. (sis)
