Man takes credit for something he didn’t do and then yells at woman when called out 🙄 Awful integrity and response from @JuddLegum 🍅🍅
Danyelle Khmara@DanyelleKhmara

@JuddLegum emailed me Sunday—2 days after I broke Jose Hermosillo’s story—asking for help, promising credit. I helped. Today, he claimed he was first to interview Jose (4 days after my story). When I called him to say that’s not ok, he yelled, swore, then finally credited me.

Unfortunately, it’s shockingly common for outside reporters to follow up on local reporting without citing the original work. It’s even more egregious when a generous, well-sourced local journalist like @DanyelleKhmara helps you out and you don’t credit her. How disappointing!

Very disappointing, unacceptable behavior from a fellow journalist @JuddLegum. (And odd for him to claim that he was first to interview Hermosillo, after @azpublicmedia, Arizona Daily Star and at least one New Mexico outlet already published stories with quotes from Hermosillo.)

Judd, you wrote: “In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS's account was false.” @DanyelleKhmara broke the story last week for @azpublicmedia. If we truly value independent journalism, give credit to local outlets.

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

An amazing article from @jherrerx on Puerto Ricans and Dominican Americans in Pennsylvania — it’s a fresh read that injects nuance into this conversation about Latino voters, which begs for specificity. Give it your time before election day. politico.com/news/magazine/…

This year, @ProPublica has been looking into the impacts of cities increasingly removing or “sweeping” encampments. We spoke with 135 people who had experienced sweeps. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words. 🧵

Border wall construction in southern Arizona's Pajarito Mts 4 years ago decimated the Mariposa Canyon watershed as well as jaguar & Mexican spotted owl critical habitat. The area remains in ruin today. Work crews continue to try to stabilize the site & the wall from collapse.

The exact formula of wildfire suppressants are trade secrets, proprietary to the handful of companies who make them. New research suggests those mixtures have heavy metals in them, contributing ~ 380,000 kg of toxic metals to the enviro between 2009-2021. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Israel has killed ~900 in its recent bombings in north Gaza. ~100 of them were killed today. The hospital has only one doctor after Israel arrested or expelled all other health workers. 2 kid patients died after generators died. nytimes.com/2024/10/28/wor… reuters.com/world/middle-e…
