The City of San Luis Obispo has issued a shelter-in-place order due to Monday’s severe rainstorm that has left major streets riddled with flooding, car accidents and road closures throughout the day. mustangnews.net/shelter-in-pla…

WATCH: Jurors are shown a video that Heard recorded during her marriage, in which Depp punches kitchen cabinets. She testifies she took the video, "Because I was scared." #JohnnyDepp #AmberHeard @LawCrimeNetwork


Interesting… a journalist-turned-soldier? What’s happening in Ukraine right now is polarizing and horrible, but do we need to be trading our pens for guns? I feel like we still need and depend on trustworthy journalism based in Kyiv.

“I'm a journalist based in Kyiv. And today me and my friend, we joined the resistance.” The journalists swapping their notebooks for AK-47s in the defence against Russia.

New TX voter suppression laws are leading to 1 in 3 vote by mail applications being flagged for rejection in Harris County. Voters: please apply early, and include a phone number or email in your application so election workers can assist.


Are we still focusing on this? Trump is out of the presidency and still we retain our extremely nationalist tendencies…

Excited to join President Trump tomorrow in Conroe. Texas is finishing what President Trump started by continuing to secure our border and build the wall.

I'm proud to have been one of the many who advocated for Flemo Farm when I worked for the City of Toronto. Flemo Farm is an inspiring step towards food sovereignty in the city! Indigenous chefs/growers can lead the way! theglobeandmail.com/amp/canada/tor…

Hey guys! Just posted the first story on my new blog, Little Eats, Big Fun. It covers the odd ASMR trend we’re seeing throughout cooking videos on TikTok. Check it out here: littleeatsbigfun.wordpress.com/2022/01/18/tik…


If you would like to see more from Burnette, here is the link to his profile on ED: edweek.org/by/daarel-burn…


Burnette says he’s currently really enjoying his job and that his company is doing pretty well, so he hopes to be at ED for a while. However, he does think it would be nice to be the editor of a publication which covers not only education but events, business, etc.


Burnette advises students to specialize in what you want to write about because the industry looks for journalists who can “start up their own sub-stack and have people subscribe to their work.”


Burnette has studied that history of race and the role of race within education by putting himself in unusual environments to better understand his own biases. Hiring more POC doesn’t automatically result in diversifying the newsroom.


In America’s world, we racialize, according to Burnette, meaning we make many assumptions about people and their experiences—depriving ourselves of important stories, especially including ones about critical race theory. #intellectualcuriosity


In recent years, education is learning how to use data and “journalists are at the forefront of helping them use that data,” Burnette says. Because of this, data shows that urban school districts are actually outperforming their suburban counterparts. #educationmatters


Burnette just wrote his first story today in 5 months with a team of three reporters, giving them guidance and helping to articulate and frame their ideas into the ED website and their print.


“I think voice when it comes to writing is, like, a certain way of asserting yourself in your experiences and, um, having a sense of authority over your beat,” says Daarel Burnette.


Burnette appreciates ED (Education Week) for creating a process of changing his writing style and giving him the opportunity to build a voice of his own. #daarelburnette


With education having multi-billion dollar budgets, the government is “spinning it on kinds of random things and oftentimes the outcomes of student learning is not all that great, so there’s a lot of opportunity for accountability journalism,” Burnette says.
