At the height of the #MeToo movement, @Jezebel's then-EIC @Koalani and @nytimes then-gender editor @jessicabennett did a series I produced on @TheTakeaway that taught me so much about that moment. Here was one was one of my favorite conversations. RIP Jez. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takea…

I've been to the Tidal Basin a million times over the years, but I'd never seen the water this high. It really feels like a glimpse of the future. npr.org/2024/03/19/123…

Credit where due - @jonathanvswan, the cream of the cop and someone we are so fortunate is our colleague now, has been reporting assiduously on what a Trump White House would look like in 2025 since June 2022 axios.com/2022/07/22/tru…

@toddzwillich noooo. I'm so sorry.

Here’s a tweet you hate to send. I was included in Vice’s latest layoff round today. I’ll still be on the public radio airwaves as soon as tomorrow… but definitely hit me up for your politics / democracy reporting/ trials / Congress / broadcasting / podcast needs!

Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

My @axios #AI Summit talk with @inafried. When thinking on generative AI, you have to ask yourself, “What do you think it means to be a human? What do you even think life is for?” (Start at 1:04.) axios.com/2023/10/30/wat…

Episode 2 of '1 big thing' from @axios is out! And making this provided a wake-up call for me about kids and social media in the U.S. Some of the stats and emerging research are nothing short of shocking. Take a listen to @NialaBoodhoo's thoughtful interview with @Surgeon_General

Introducing "1 big thing," a new podcast from Axios where host Niala Boodhoo goes deep with leaders you know — or need to know — in business, politics, and culture. Every week, all in under 20 minutes. Listen to the trailer: trib.al/MzqNO2s trib.al/QrzIMtO

I’m so proud of what this small but MIGHTY team built in @Axios Today! Excited to work w/ @NialaBoodhoo on a new weekly, but sad for the end of this special show that proved a daily news pod could actually (seriously! truly!) be a joy to make. Grateful I got to experience that.

The Paris Olympics begin one year from today, and the clock is ticking to prepare the beautiful — and filthy — River Seine for its big moment. trib.al/GunsGEV

@ellenfrankman @connie_walker Woohoo congrats!🎉

Winning a Pulitzer is something you dream of as a journalist, but never expect to achieve. And it's the furthest thing from your mind when you are deep in the reporting and focused on your sources and the story. Needless to say, I'm in shock! And so grateful to @connie_walker...

Jay Cowit is sound of @TheTakeaway, the historical record of @TheTakeaway, the soul of @TheTakeaway and my 7AM bestie for the past two years. The next host, show, & station lucky enough to work with him will find him to be extraordinarily talented and profoundly human.
