After returning from the #Tigray refugee camps in Sudan, I talked to @TheBradMielke about the bleak conditions there for @StartHereABC (starts at 14:40): open.spotify.com/episode/4vij6z…

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

"We have to care for every soldier, for every civilian who suffered from the war trauma, which is very important because war trauma, it’s not for one day.” Our latest reporting w/ @EmilyJReports is out. Listen, read, and see the photos theworld.org/stories/2024/1…

I've just come back from #Venezuela 🇻🇪 where I spent 2.5 weeks, witnessing the run-up to the presidential vote, and what was arguably the most outrageous election steal in the modern history of Latin America. I'll share some thoughts below 🧵

The @AP’s @evanvucci

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn. If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that. 1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

Coverage of the Sudan war across five pages in today's NYT, with sweeping display of @ivorprickett's stunning images.

@cdelshad I'm sorry for what you're going through, Carmel. I'm sick over what's happening in Gaza, and have rarely been as angered as I was by the silence from major news orgs over the deaths of so many Palestinian journalists.

@LEBassett So many cretins in the comments. 🙄 I've been loving reading your newsletter, Laura. This is going to resonate with so many women. ❤️

It's a bit terrifying to write a personal essay. But I wrote about the decision to freeze my eggs at 36, in the beginning of the pandemic, and the cognitive dissonance of being screamed at about the birth rate but also that IVF is inherently bad. laura-bassett.com/p/on-being-40-…

@ZK_Parlays Yeah what the fuck?

how did the Knicks lose a point? was it not just a tie game?

The @ColumbiaSpec staff wrote and photographed an entire cover package for @NYMag, I am so ridiculously proud of them!!! columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/05/0…

“In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances and at risk of arrest.” From @PulitzerPrizes:

Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay ! Whether its @BPolatseck saying reporters shouldn't be at the scene of breaking news or the @NYPDNews keeping reporters away so they can record their own propaganda films, you don't have to look far to find threats to a free press.

Since the @cunygse started at @CityCollegeNY several of my @newmarkjschool students were on site providing (during spring break) excellent reporting. Last night’s coordinated NYPD clear-outs at alma mater @Columbia & where I teach @CUNY are an assault on academic & press freedom.

Asked on @MSNBC how many non-students or "outside agitators" were are Columbia, @NYCMayor says NYPD terror experts gave two names but "I choose not to give notoriety to people like that." He says NYPD will give more, but they haven't released any data or numbers on non-students

You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

More on Columbia journalists //Outside media was only allowed on campus for TWO HOURS a day. Student journalists were on the clock 24/7. And even while covering their peers, these journalists upheld high journalistic standards. @ColumbiaSpec taught me everything I know.

The journalists of @ColumbiaSpec and @WKCRFM are the best of the best; I’m in awe of what incredible work they’re doing while also trying to keep themselves and each other safe. Isabella is running her newsroom better than many professionals.

From one of my professors.

A casual reminder that while college journalists across the country are doing a phenomenal job with boots-on-the-ground reporting, covering the communities they're engrained in, they are also literally juggling FINALS. Support them, pay them, hire them!! @spj_tweets @collegemedia

Our team of 18 student volunteers is immensely proud to be providing this coverage to the Columbia community, NYC, and the world at large. We are incredibly appreciative of your support and understanding.
