More than 20 years ago when starting out as a young journo I had the great privilege of meeting Bob Woodward, to interview him about his latest book and Watergate. This week’s layoffs have been devastating. Hoping WaPo can continue to deliver outstanding journalism in tough times

The old gag that you need strong peripheral vision to notice Australia from Washington was always nonsense, and never more so than since @MikeMillerDC started cover this beat with such clear eyes and smarts. Terrific coverage.

It was an honor to be @washingtonpost's first Sydney bureau chief. Unfortunately, I'm also the last. The paper is shrinking foreign coverage. I've lost my job. Worse, millions of readers will lose my colleagues' brilliant coverage. At a time of tumult, we need more info, not less

The king is dead. I’m told John died peacefully at home. And I’m sad to hear it. We were friends…we had a fierce feud…we made up and were friends again. There was no better broadcaster in all the long history of radio. ‘And you be kind to each other…’

A stairway to heaven. This is the banned book staircase created by Newport Public Library, Oregon. A timely reminder how books lift you up & the fact that it’s only control freaks, killjoys & prudes who want to police what you do between the covers. #bookban

John Frew's is the best overview of a - maybe the - key driver of the slashing of humanities disciplines/academics/courses: a consultant groupthink that works via interlocking memberships and dependencies of university executives and councils, and the firms they hire for advice.
