You're going to "pause" a program all about inclusive and participatory journalism processes by making a unilateral decision? The ignorance is loud @newmarkjschool.

“The most far-reaching and complex human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases like, easily memorized and easily expressed. These become the start and finish of any ideological analysis.” Police and journalists use them all the time.

#ICYMI, @MekdelaMaskal spoke with brilliant local climate reporters @Kelly_M_House and @Erstone7, both shortlisted for #CCNowAwards, about how they decide what stories to tell and the challenges along the way. @BridgeMichigan @LAist

The most gut-wrenching part of the last 2 years is definitely the lost lives, but as a young person, it feels even more demoralizing because we have learned so few lessons. We coukd have restructured our entire world and our relationships with each other, and we didn’t do it.

People ask me. I ask people. I ask myself: Accurate, reliable info is key to *everything else* so what’s a shared vision for local news that "leads to a vibrant, multiracial democracy?" The future of local news blueprint is in rewrite imo so here's what I'm thinking in 4 pts 🧵

THREAD. A rare thing is happening today: we are about to get a window into the secret world of how cops shape the news. There's a hearing this afternoon into how San Francisco cops manipulate the media through “strategic communications.” The internal documents are shocking.

This is of course a human, vulnerable, admirable response. Groups lobbying for Clarissa Ward to be fired for “bias” right now would be unthinkable. Yet people attack even pro-Palestinian *tweets* for just that… and the industry praising Ward agrees.
