I took a peek at #LasCruces weather for this weekend wondering if it might snow. The forecast is more Lloyd Christmas than White Christmas. "So, you're sayin' there's a chance!?" #dumbanddumber

@KujawskiKeith I am not. Sports reporter Jason Groves will be going there to cover it. Are you going to the game?

@LittleGuyInATie Are you coming to Detroit for Bowl Game?

Anyone in #LasCruces feel the 5.3 earthquake near Midland, Texas about 20 minutes ago? I didn't, but I'm curious if others did.

@El_Rashad @AnnHendrickson1 @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican @NMLocalNews This is an excellent opportunity. @NMLocalNews has been an invaluable partner for @CrucesSunNews. They’ve helped place fellows/interns in our newsroom and facilitated collaborations with other news organizations.

@AnnHendrickson1 @LittleGuyInATie @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican Maryann, the @NMLocalNews is running a matching campaign this month to support local news organizations around the state. Here's the list if you want to contribute! nmlocalnews.org/publications/l…

You wouldn't know this by reading @andrewboxford story, but the @CrucesSunNews produced the best news writing in the state last year, better than anything the @ABQJournal or @thenewmexican did. Imagine if our team here had the same resources as other publications in the state?

@AnnHendrickson1 @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican MaryAnn, you’ve been huge supporter and advocate of local journalism over the years and that helps immensely. Keep subscribing and asking difficult but necessary questions of the newsroom and pushing @gannett to keep its New Mexico newsrooms filled with top-notch journalists.

@DanBoydNM @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican Thank you Dan. As you said, there are many talented journalists spotlighting issues in our state and any energy spent putting down one another is wasted. It's much better to spend that time advocating for each another. Keep up the great work!

@LittleGuyInATie @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican I agree with that sentiment. I think you guys do a great job and produce some top-notch journalism. Your initial tweet seemed to me to put down the @ABQJournal and the @thenewmexican, which is what I took issue with.

@DanBoydNM @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican .@andrewboxford mentions those two papers after stating: "New Mexico is still better off than most when it comes to local journalism." The @ABQJournal and @thenewmexican are fine papers and my intent is to highlight that the best of the @CrucesSunNews is every bit as good.

@LittleGuyInATie @andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican Hmm, I didn't read Andrew's story as criticizing the Sun-News' staff or news-writing ability. Also, I think we can tout our own work without putting down other publications. I'm glad there are so many talented journos spotlighting important #NM issues.

@andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican @AlgernonWrites @Gannett For the record, @andrewboxford did talk to me in the course of his reporting and I didn't want to comment. Now I'm talking about his work publicly (sorry, Andrew!). It's a more-than-fair story. Let's continue to advocate for better journalism in every corner of our state.

@andrewboxford @CrucesSunNews @ABQJournal @thenewmexican Also, @AlgernonWrites first talked about the @gannett news philosophy in a podcast produced by the @CrucesSunNews.

This will be Jerry Kill's second time in the Quick Lane Bowl. He had to resign at Minnesota after 7 games in 2015 and Tracy Claeys took over, but Kill was on the sidelines in Detroit, and "May have coached" lcsun-news.com/story/sports/2…

I've been helping out on the sports beat lately. In addition to writing about Mayfield coach Michael Bradley's retirement, here's a story on @NMStateAggies encouraging fans who can't attend @quicklanebowl to still purchase tickets. lcsun-news.com/story/sports/2…

Mayfield football coach Michael Bradley announces his retirement. He’s been coach of the Trojans since 2006. In that time, his teams won three state titles.

Hope you’ll tune in to our latest podcast episode!
