Only through journalism do we see the full picture: a clearer understanding of the world, grounded in facts, independence and integrity. On this #WorldPressFreedomDay, UNESCO is honouring all those who bring facts to light. Read more: unesco.org/en/articles/wo…

Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay. Journalists in the U.S. continue to face legal threats, surveillance, censorship, and other attacks for just doing their jobs. Press freedom is a constitutional right — and a democratic necessity. Watch @trevortimm explain.

@heyaimsarah You did a great job! #ucosocialmediapros were inspired by you. Thank you.

I got to speak at my alma mater today to a group of fellow writers, creators, and bibliophiles. Thanks for having me in class again @JoeHight ! Freshman Sarah wouldn’t believe it haha

@OKCNightCourt @stevelackmeyer Excellent point. #ucosocialmediapros

@JoeHight @stevelackmeyer Sometimes you have to look past the poo poo to get at the nuggets..... I'm here all week, because no where else wants me.

Oh no, @Okieprof of #clarkclass fame just told #ucosocialmediapros that he’s getting off Twitter! He calls it “feces,” among other things. If you have a reason for it, he says, use it.

@ethan_youssef @Okieprof Hey #ucosocialmediapros what you do you think?

@Okieprof going off! Social media is dead💀 #UCOsocialmediapros

Joining #ucosocialmediapros is @heyaimsarah, social media coordinator of @OKWildlifeDept and a former @UCO_MCOM student of mine.

@ThriceSavage @MichaelMcNuttOK An outstanding choice! Michael is a hall of famer for a reason. Congrats!

Exciting news: @MichaelMcNuttOK returns to #journalism. His #okleg knowledge will make my work better, and he will mentor our younger journalists. Also, as I spoke with his former colleagues and bosses, each emphasized his character. Welcome, Michael! nondoc.com/2023/01/25/vet…
