Hurricanes can unleash toxic chemicals from facilities through storm surge, wind damage and power loss. I looked at this issue for @WBUR and found that most facilities in MA don't have backup power, a safeguard that can help prevent accidents. READ: bit.ly/3Y3lNdo

Blue Ridge Public Radio is in the midst of a critical, two-day fund drive to support our coverage of Hurricane Helene and the massive recovery efforts in WNC. Even a one-time gift helps immensely. You can give to @BlueRidgePublic at this link — and thanks! pledgecart.org/home?campaign=…

Requesting public records is one of our best mechanisms to hold the government accountable & it should be easy for everyone to do. @MuckRock is hiring their first Director of Development to take the org from “start up” to the next level. Apply & share: muckrock.com/jobs/

It’s true. For real. @clancygambit is retiring. Congrats, friend.

It’s official. Thank you, ⁦@dcbigjohn⁩ and the talented staff at Gambit, The Times-Picayune & The Advocate — and thanks to the many readers who have followed (and critiqued) me over the years. BTW, I’ll still do my Tuesday Commentary on WWLTV. nola.com/gambit/news/th…

We audited DCF because we need to do better by our kids who’ve been traumatized and suffer from mental health issues. #mapoli You can read the full report on our website mass.gov/auditor OR in the @BostonGlobe at bostonglobe.com/2024/11/07/met…

congrats all!

Seriously?!? That’s a travesty.

It just hit me: there are *TWO* reporters left at @wamu885, a station that covers a metropolitan area of 6 million people. That’s one-tenth the size the newsroom was two years ago, and the smallest it has been in two decades.

How does this happen? Why did this happen? And why won’t officials answer simple questions about it? Bribery doesn’t matter? NEWS - DC contractor guilty of giving bribes still involved in lottery contract - Axios Washington D.C. axios.com/local/washingt…


The power of data.

I wonder why.

After the @Mets won game 6 of the 1986 World Series I was in the interview room at Shea and asked Mookie Wilson “Do you even realize what just happened?” The room erupted. Thus, I ask you. Did that really just happen? My goodness.


Congrats!!!

Deeply honored! Thank you ⁦@WABJDC⁩. Ron Nixon to Receive Dorothy Butler Gilliam Trailblazer Award. wabjdc.org/ron-nixon-to-r…



Way to go!

Some professional news: The streets do not lie! I’ll be with AP through the end of the year. Im so excited!
