This deep dive into the effectiveness of Iowa’s “batch & build” projects is some really excellent watchdog work from @emilyhaavik apmreports.org/story/2024/12/…

Do you remember how you were taught to read? On our new Series Essential pick, @ehanford explores the schools that bought into a flawed method to teach reading, the publishers who made millions off it & the laws enacted based on this groundbreaking investigation. apple.co/SAS

So incredibly proud to have a played a small role in this story. Incredible reporting by @KateReports.

New from my colleagues at ⁦@apmreports⁩. During his campaign for governor, then-Sheriff Joe Lombardo claimed the Las Vegas police department seized just six ghost guns in one year. But officers actually seized 252 of the weapons during that time. apmreports.org/story/2024/02/…

While campaigning for governor in 2021, then-Sheriff Joe Lombardo said ghost guns weren't a “big issue," claiming Las Vegas police seized just 6 in a year. According to department records, it was actually hundreds. Story by @KUNRPublicRadio, @apmreports: thenevadaindependent.com/article/in-202…

@jenrosesmithvt I've gone to the UVM library (Howe) to use ProQuest. I bet you could access academic journals there too!

Thread: I love Barbara Kingsolver, respect her voice and authority, but want to wrestle with the arguments she made during her appearance on @ezraklein's show. It's worth a listen, the case she makes is important to hear, but I think it's problematic. 1/ nytimes.com/2023/07/21/opi…

@alikodjakAP Congratulations!

2/ This year as I applied for an endless procession of disappearing journo jobs, I thought a lot about leaving the industry. I'm so glad I didn't. So take it from me. Apply when you think you're unqualified. Apply when you can't imagine writing another cover letter. Apply!

1/ Beyond excited to be joining American Public Media today as an investigative editor! Also psyched to share that our team is hiring 2 investigative reporters. Please spread the word: tinyurl.com/4twdvt74, tinyurl.com/4fd8f2ws.

A citizen journalist asked every local police department in Massachusetts for records of police misconduct. Most resisted - even though the records clearly appear to be public under state law.

I am as gobsmacked by Alecia Archibald’s writing about The Machine today as I was the first time I read it 3 years ago in Cambridge. If you read nothing else today… read this 👇

Not the odds, but the stakes. That's my shorthand for what we most need from election coverage in 2024. Not who has what chances of winning, or their performance in the race so far, but the consequences for our democracy. Not the odds, but the stakes.

Hey! We want to know about the "third spaces" you inhabit — the place that isn't work or home, where you hang out and meet other people and build community. Think of a library, general store, the town green, etc. Respond below or email Rachel Hellman: rachel@sevendaysvt.com

@CristelaGuerra Woot! Congratulations!

@AMLwhere @JohnArchibald @PulitzerPrizes #2021!

I’m over the moon for Nieman Fellow ⁦@JohnArchibald⁩, who won his first ⁦@PulitzerPrizes⁩ in 2018, and today won a second for stories he reported with his son Ramsey. “It’s a great honor. And to do it with your kid—I’m telling you, that’s gold” nytimes.com/2023/05/08/bus…

Today was a very good day. Grateful to @niemanfoundation at Harvard for recognizing me with the I.F. Stone award. And congratulations to all the other stunningly talented journalists honored with the Bingham Prize and Taylor Award.

Journalism Twitter, I need your help. A few weeks ago I came across a piece about the fact that while journalists have been reporting extensively on addiction, audiences are simply not engaging with the material. Could have been an op-ed or on Substack. What am I thinking of?
