Journalist board of Shtetl, news site covering haredi Orthodoxy, resigns after founder renounces mission

JL;DR SUMMARY Naftuli Moster, founder of Shtetl, a news site initially aimed at promoting accountability within Orthodox Jewish communities, has publicly renounced the site's original mission, prompting the entire board to resign.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
