These are the people, according to Romesko, who got stock options:
Achenbach, Joel L; Bank, Justin S; Baron, Martin D; Barr, Cameron W; Bell, Melissa A; Beyers, Dan; Brouillard, Damien P; Cha, Ariana; Cho, David D; Cillizza, Chris M; Cohen, Jonathan M; Curran, Timothy J; Diehl, Jackson K; Eggen, Dan; Fahrenthold, David A; Ferguson-Rohrer,wallet Anne M; Finkel, David L; Fisher, Marc F; Ginsberg, Steven J; Griffin, David L; Haik, Cory T; Tsukayama, Hayley M; Helderman, Rosalind S; Hiatt, Fred; Irwin, Neil; Jaffe, Greg; Jehl, Douglas D; Jenkins, Sally; Jordan, Mary C; Kellett, Ryan Y; Kilgore, Adam D; Klein, Ezra; Kornblut, Anne E; Lane, Charles M; Loeb, Vernon F; Malcolm, Kenisha R; Marburger, Joey; Marcus, Ruth A; McCartney, Robert J; McCrummen, Stephanie L; Merida, Kevin E; Miller, Greg; Mufson, Steven J; Hermann, Peter E; Rich, Eric B; Rucker, Philip J; Sampsel, Sarah A; Samuel, Terence; Saslow, Eli E; Schneider, Gregory S; Sellers, Frances S; Steinberg, Dan; Stewart, Nikita R; Stuever, Hank; Sullivan, Kevin J; Tate, Julie A; Thompson, Krissah S; Tumulty, Karen E; Victor, Yuri A; Vobejda, Barbara; Wallsten, Peter; Whitlock, Craig; Wilson, Scott W.
Some whined in comments that their personal favorite was overlooked. Robert B. Hunter wanted to know "How many black writers are on the list. Who are they?"
Hunter, if your question is so important, why don't you do the work with the names provided?
We're all for representation but Hunter's question is grossly stupid at this point.
These are bonuses, these stock options, and there's a more important aspect than race or gender when you look at the above -- if you are a thinking, literate and intelligent person.
If you got a bonus, your work needs to have enhanced the paper.
Where's Dana Priest?
She's a woman. We ask why she isn't on the list not because of her gender. We ask that because The Washington Post would be a rag without her and a few others.
In 2006, she got the George Polk award and the Pulitzer (for reporting on the CIA black site prisons). 2008, she, Anne Hull and Michel du Cille received the Pulitzer for their work reporting on Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Her 2010 work enhanced the paper's reputation as well and was featured on The NewsHour and Frontline. So why the hell didn't she get options?
And another name we'll toss out is Ed O'Keefe. He does a great deal of work for the paper -- in print and online. Most importantly, when stock options started getting handed out, he was going to Iraq to report from there. He went into a combat zone and that didn't qualify for stock options either?
Jim Romensesko spat out info. We can't say he reported or processed it.
