Thank you, @NPR and @jubrogers for choosing Nightwatching as one of the best reads of 2024 so far! Of course couldn't post earlier because was busy listening to @BosPublicRadio just to give an idea of what an NPR fan I am, and how much this means to me ❤️❤️❤️
The artful @StephenVoss posted a 2007 photo of me as I finish 20 years hosting NPR’s Morning Edition. He also took down something I said live on the air today at 5:25am ET.
“These are the heroes of WCK. These 7 beautiful souls were killed by the IDF in a strike as they were returning from a full day's mission. Their smiles, laughter, and voices are forever embedded in our memories.” - Erin Gore, CEO. Read more: wck.org/news/honoring-…
I was one of the journalists laid of at @wamu885 today. I've had a great time covering local environmental issues in D.C. for the past 7ish years, plus 5 more years producing and reporting audio at the station.
This is a true loss to our community.
Well-informed residents are essential to democracy, and good government is harder to accomplish without rigorous public examination and discussion of what we do. The absence of @dcist will be heartfelt by all of us.
Very exciting: @ArkansasPBS has received a $1.16 million grant to digitize our entire archive of more than 26,000 videotapes of original programming, some going back to the 1966 debut. There are various formats of tapes with footage to be preserved before they completely decay.
I teach college music theory, but I'm also a new dad. I decided to combine my professional and personal identities and make a thread of music for babies where the adult musicians went way, way harder than they had to. (1/12)
These jobs are *supposed* to just be jobs.... but if you're wired like a lot of us... especially, journalists, it don't work like that. It's mission work. It's purpose. It's not the healthiest thing in the world, but it is what it is. These cuts cut deep.
This episode was really hard to make. It was devastating to hear his real story of the Iraq we covered together for @npr and it was an answer to a question I’ve thought a lot about over the years - what was I doing there and what did it mean. nytimes.com/2023/03/23/opi…
Very difficult week @npr We will lose 100 colleagues. Talented, hard-working people who create a high-quality news product that - as a part of its mission -- NPR gives away for free. That's journalism as public education. No paywalls. Please support public media any way you can
