Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country

Shoutout to all the freelance reporters winning @PulitzerPrizes today!

Great to see @jkbjournalist recognized (at last and justly) by @PulitzerPrizes! Congratulations, Julie!

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

McClatchy: I want real human reporters reporting the news. Thank you. #AIslop #realreporters @mcclatchy

A word about @jkbjournalist and the @PulitzerPrizes : I don't usually comment on places I have worked. And I don’t share the peculiar affliction, common to some newspeople, that the golden era of a newsroom ends the minute you walk out the door. But: 1/

I am among the McClatchy journalists withholding my byline from AI-generated content. I cover sensitive stories that should never be repackaged or altered in any way by artificial intelligence. Whether the story is about sexual abuse or immigrants caged at Alligator Alcatraz, our journalists take great care to ensure that their material is accurate, fair and conveys invaluable aspects of humanity that AI simply can't do.

Nataliia's husband was the first person killed in the meltdown at Chernobyl. Forty years later, disaster struck her family again. My latest, with Serhiy Morgunov, for The @NewYorker: newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Congrats to @OttaviaS on her story, co-published with us & @typeinvestigate, which won the American Society of Journalists & Authors' 2026 Donald Robinson Memorial Award for Investigative Journalism. Read her report on the stark future of long-term care. inthesetimes.com/article/texas-…

@MiamiHerald is still fighting to unseal all the John Doe names. This court battle to unseal records in the Maxwell-Guiffre civil case has lasted EIGHT years. All the names (except those of victims) should be unsealed.

My first story since being laid off from the Washington Post. He'd already picked his last meal. Two days later, the governor called it off. The inside story of how Sonny Burton was saved from Alabama's death chamber: theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

🎛️ From the control room to your screen, every story you see starts with someone making sure it matters. Meet Joel Mitchell (‘25), Digital & News Producer at WTXL @abc27 and a recent graduate of FAMU SJGC who stepped straight from the classroom into the newsroom. 📰✨ As a producer, Joel plays a key role behind the scenes, connecting with audiences, working alongside reporters and ensuring the stories communities need to hear actually get told. He encourages younger generations to stay tapped into what’s happening in their communities and to share that information forward because being informed is how communities stay connected. 💡 While at SJGC, he built an impressive foundation producing for FAMU TV-20 News, serving as an @Adobe Student Ambassador, hosting on @905theflava and working as a social media intern for SJGC. He was also a 2025 @nyuniversity Ed Bradley Journalism Fellow, interned at @TDOnline and earned recognition as a 2024 @FLNewscasters Florida News Award Finalist. 🎥 Tap in to hear his journey, get inspired and see how the next generation is shaping the future of local journalism. #LocalNewsDay #CapitalRegionNewsCollaborative #SupportLocalNews #Tallahassee #SJGCIsLocal

Heartbreaking. Reminds me that a very sad thing about America is that a company can terminate someone for no reason, or an illegal reason, and completely derail someone's career and life. It's not okay. thenation.com/article/cultur…
