Lot of these sports outlets must be so happy to have Pablo Torre doing investigations that they can aggregate so they can look like they’re reporting news and scandals without ever having to answer why they don’t fund their own writers to do the same things

About once every thirty to forty years every city is forced to go through a "Surprise, the garbage collectors are actually the foundational bedrock of your society!" week and unfortunately it's now Philly's turn

I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting.

In 1991, David Lynch showed the world the alienation and innate horror of a dirty street, directing this unforgettable anti-littering ad for the City of New York. RIP to a visionary filmmaker and a pioneer of the Trash Revolution.

Reminder that there is approximately $33 billion in grants and direct government funding in the IRA that could rapidly disappear under a Trump administration. Home rebates for electrification -- heat pumps, retrofits, etc -- is a big part of that. climateprogramportal.org/2024/10/25/wha…

The misfortune of two news outlets has been a goldmine for others, per @SarahScire. While @washingtonpost + @latimes have lost 250K and 18K subs respectively over not making presidential endorsements, @guardian, @PhillyInquirer, @BostonGlobe have seen "exponential growth"

This section of Bezos’s op-ed is incredible. The Washington Post has chronically underinvested in DC local coverage, despite having a more open lane than equivalent NY outlets. If you want to push up household penetration in the DC metro then you need to cover the DC metro!

🚨🚨Most US counties now have little to no local news sources —Number of counties at high risk of losing all local news jumped 22% this year —While there's been an uptick in digital news sites, the vast majority serve metro areas, not rural news deserts axios.com/2024/10/24/mos…

help me understand why a "top journalist" was given anonymity to compliment barstool sports.

Journalism matters. Days after an exclusive @insideclimate investigation and intervention from @splcenter, a small Alabama town has decided to drop criminal charges against its citizens over past-due garbage bills. insideclimatenews.org/news/08102024/…

Asheville has been hit hard, but it’s smaller communities like Chimney Rock and Lake Lure that have been in some cases completely destroyed by the storm. With communication and travel in the region still severely impacted, it’s a nightmare scenario.

New reporting from @insideclimate: An Alabama town has criminally charged more than 180 people over unpaid garbage bills. Black moms and those facing disabilities are among the hardest hit by the policy. Take a moment to meet some of those impacted. 🧵1/9 insideclimatenews.org/news/24092024/…

Well, this is ominous. The US Air Force is refusing to comply w/ an EPA order to clean up drinking water it polluted with toxic #PFAS, claiming the agency lacks authority since “Chevron doctrine” was struck down by the Supreme Court. theguardian.com/us-news/articl…“Chevron%20doctrine”

This is concerning. It's common (though still wrong!) for the NYPD to detain journalists covering protests. But the NYPD raiding a reporter's home & arresting him on hate crime charges for covering a demonstration is a dramatic escalation of the war on the press.

It's official: Mask ban in Nassau County, New York passes along party lines, 12-0 (7 abstentions). It makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor (with unclear health and religious exceptions) and gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.
