Report for America's National Gathering is pure magic. This is a tough time to be a journalist, and it's rewarding to create an experience that equips, inspires and energizes local journalists for the work ahead.

.@Report4America brought journalists from every corner of the country to Minneapolis last week for the service program’s 2024 National Gathering. It was an opportunity to connect and learn in a way that can only be done in person. More: bit.ly/4cV956y #RFAGathers24

My latest. "How AI could sap — or save — local news: The answers to these 9 questions could shape the outcome of artificial intelligence’s effects on the local news sector." One conclusion: AI will require more local reporters not less. poynter.org/commentary/202…

Hate to see our friends at the @ocplaindealer go through this but are very excited to report that a growing number of donations are rolling in to support their coverage of the community! (Beyond having a corps member in their newsroom, we're proud to be their fiscal sponsor)
Mike Wiggins@mikewiggins76

Someone didn't like this edition of @ocplaindealer. (Guess which article.) So they stole nearly every newspaper out of our racks in Ouray County. If you hoped to silence or intimidate us, you failed miserably. We'll find out who did this. And another press run is imminent.

Justice has prevailed for our @UMWallaceHouse 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow Emilio Gutiérrez Soto. A long awaited win for those of us fighting for the freedom and safety of the press. Eternally thankful to our colleagues at @PressClubDC @rcfp @UMich who partnered in the fight.

Thank you, @mkefilm, for another fantastic Milwaukee Film Festival! The festival and @TheOrientalMKE are two of many reasons I love living in Milwaukee.

The most riveting documentary I saw at the @mkefilm festival was BAD PRESS about the fight for press freedom in Muscogee (Creek) Nation. If you're a journalist or care about press freedom, see this film if you can! Shoutout to directors @BeccaLandsberry and @heyjoepeeler.
