Lyndsay Winkley

@kellylynndavis @schulzsam @SDUTmcdonald I love to read this!! What an incredible addition.

After being a freelance contributor for years, today I'm joining the San Diego Union-Tribune's Watchdog team as a full-time reporter. Special thanks to @schulzsam, @SDUTmcdonald and Lora Cicalo for their support. Tips: kelly.davis@sduniontribune.com

It's with an extremely heavy heart that we share the passing of Officer Austin Machitar. In this time of grief, we honor the memory of a hero who gave everything for our safety. His integrity, dedication and heroism will never be forgotten. Visit sdpoa.org to donate

@RealNickLeyva Thanks, Nick!

@LAWinkley Congrats, Lyndsay!

Some personal and professional news — a thread! After 12 years at The San Diego Union-Tribune, I’ll be starting a new chapter doing community liaison work at the San Diego Police Department.

@shaneharrisnow Thanks, Shane! Looking forward to it…

@LAWinkley Congrats Lyndsay! The reporting you provided during the pandemic was phenomenal work. I have no doubts we will see each other on the other side and I look forward to working with you in your new capacity!

@ProfBraun Thank you, Janna.

@vosdscott Thanks so much, Scott. Appreciate you and the work you do. See you on a rugby field, maybe! ☺️

@LAWinkley Bummer for news but I hope you enjoy your new chapter.

@CALonghurst Thanks so much for all the time you lent me during the pandemic! I learned a lot doing the stories we worked together on.

@JCoyneSD Thank you!

@LAWinkley Congrats on your new journey!

@laura_wingard @sdut Thanks for taking me under your wing all those years ago, Laura!

@LAWinkley Remember when you were an intern @sdut. Honored to have once been your editor and to see all you’ve done in the news biz. Good luck in your new career adventure!

@JerryMcCormick I do! Thank you for all of your support, Professor. You were one of the first to inspire me to consider this career all those years ago. And you’ve showed us all how it’s possible to reinvent. Proud to be one of #jerryskids

@LAWinkley You KNOW I’m proud of you. You’re going to love working for the City as much as I did.

@JerryMcCormick Embarking on new adventures at the same time! Proud of us. 🥰

@LAWinkley 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@ReelNatives Neat! And yes, it’s a hard industry for a lot of reasons. Supremely grateful for my time in it, but ready for something new.

@Benny_C Glad to hear it!

@LAWinkley Welcome to the City of SD! It’s really a good place to work!

@sdsooner Can’t get worse than journalism, right? 🥲

@LAWinkley If the change is similar to mine, you will enjoy improved work/life balance

@sdsooner Thanks, Chuck.

@LAWinkley Congratulations. Have fun and continue to do good work.

@rpulido721 Thanks, Mrs. Pulido!

@LAWinkley Best wishes for you new position. 💐

@SteveVaus I remember that visit! One of my very first stories. Thank you for being kind to a green reporter — I was grateful. And thanks for the well wishes!

@LAWinkley I remember when you were first starting out… we got to visit. You’ll be missed in the news world. Congrats and best wishes.

@jimb16149 Thanks!

@LAWinkley Hey!!! Congratulations!

@sullivanms @SanDiegoPD That’s absolutely the goal. We need real talk if we’re going to find real solutions.

@LAWinkley @SanDiegoPD Thank you, I sincerely hope you can facilitate honest & authentic conversations, not the mockery we’ve become accustomed to over decades.
