@FOXBaltimore Oh Baltimore. I was just there. Is that the Sinclair station?

WARNING - GRAPHIC: Video shows how the moments unfolded just before the deadly shooting outside Lansdowne High School on Tuesday afternoon. MORE: bit.ly/3Do5KQR

@ByPatForde Yes! He was fantastic. I took his course too. I wish he would publish his book.

Worth reading for journalists. As John Sawatsky taught everyone at ESPN back in the day: short, open, neutral questions work best.

There's a better way to do tough interviews. I rewrote @tonydokoupil's and @BretBaier's questions. poynter.org/commentary/202…

@StPeteFL are you shutting the northeast sewers off?

When journalists manage to NOT sanewash politicians, here's what they do: poynter.org/ethics-trust/2…

This is an example of solid, persistent, interviewing.

@TBTimes_Rays Got it

Break for #Rays as Diaz grounder, that looked to be a double play, instead ruled an infield hit as ball glanced off 2B ump John Bacon. So 2 on and 0 outs.

@TBTimes_Rays @TBTimes_Rays what just happened

@saeed_ahmed @Poynter Let me know if you want to grab a drink tonight.

Back at journalism spa, aka the @Poynter , for the second in-person week of the Management Transformation Challenge, where we spend our days talking about the state of journalism— and spend the nights feasting with people who’ll (hopefully) save it.

The sweep of this latest @washingtonpost series, Terror on Repeat, about the destruction of assault rifles in mass shootings, staggering. It's a powerful, thoughtful, insightful piece of journalism. It's also very hard to take in. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

In every newsroom, a host of journalists find themselves scrambling to get up to speed on what is arguably the world’s most complex conflict. A guide to basics on Israel, Gaza, Palestine and Hamas for local journalists, from @kellymcb and @atompkins: poynter.org/reporting-edit…

Been watching #tourdefrance. When is the women’s race?

There was only one possible solution left and this wasn’t it.

I was telling @RoyPeterClark that interviewing @newsbysamuels and @ToluseO was such a dream, because they embody the marriage of craft and purpose and joy.

Want to know what it means to apply your writing craft in journalism to a "really big purpose." Please read this interview by my colleague @kellymcb with two young writers of the Pulitzer winner in nonfiction books. It lifted me up. poynter.org/reporting-edit…

The journalists who wrote the Pulitzer-Prize winning book, His Name Is George Floyd, are 37- and 38-years old. So much advice and insight here about how to do great work. poynter.org/reporting-edit…

Need inspiration? I got to interview @newsbysamuels and @ToluseO about their @PulitzerPrizes win for their book, His Name Is George Floyd. poynter.org/reporting-edit…

My colleagues and their very smart first takes on the Pulitzer Prizes. (Great reporting on corruption out of Alabama and Mississippi).
