It was 69 years ago today that Emmett Till was murdered, and the reporter who wrote the definitive account concealed key information about the details of the case -- information that might have led to more convictions: washingtonpost.com/history/2024/0…

Fellow journos, I’ve a favor to ask. I’m hoping you can help me spread the word about a new(ish) journalism contest, and yeah, you’re probably thinking: Do we really need another journalism contest? This one’s different. It’s a worldwide contest, called the True Story Award. 🧵

Lightning strike story by colleague @ELaserDavies raises old question: why do some survive, not others; Hamlet said: "There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will." Not all questions can be answered,but good newspapers raise them. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…

The slave trade shattered Black families, tearing husbands from wives, parents from children. In the 1880s, a blacksmith placed an ad, hoping to find his people. Today, more than a century later, his descendants are still trying to reunite the family. They need your help.

A wow story by Post colleague @joelachenbach on 1st photo from NASA super telescope. It captured light that TRAVELED FOR 13 BILLION YEARS. Without asking "are we there yet?" And some of us think WE have a long commute! (Great doings speak to each of us.) washingtonpost.com/science/2022/0…

Read this obit by colleague @emilylangerwp. Barry Sussman, the editor who seemed from the first to know where Watergate was going. When we came into the newsroom that day 50 years ago and innocently asked if anything was up, he already suspected. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…

How comfortable are people with declaring that they aren't robots, so they can use Google? Does it seem fair to throw robots over the side that way? Will it be held against them if and when robots take over? Is a list being kept? Will robots learn to find squares without buses?
