"The winds were terrifying, the howl of the winds, the howl of the flames. And then that fire, as it came down the mountain, was a little bit more selective. It felt like fingers that clawed down the land." Spoke w/@NBCNews' @GadiNBC about the #EatonFire: https://t.co/CsNcHQe2Vp

During my time in Massachusetts, I often read the work of Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham. For @Poynter, I interviewed her about a series of columns she wrote last year about Boston’s homeless: https://t.co/xPXKmHmgrR

“My goal is to do a temperature check on just how things were going. And yeah, the temperature is hot.” For @Poynter I spoke with two local journalists about what it's been like to report from polling locations on #ElectionDay. Here's what they told me: https://t.co/i1pg74D4eW

My colleagues and I reached out to journalists from across the country — those who know where to find credible information — to find out where they’ll turn this election night. Here's what they had to say: https://t.co/Nr5OrBtqL5

Thread about my latest story for @Poynter, about a @TB_Times photojournalist who has covered dozens of storms throughout his career. As Douglas R. Clifford waited for Hurricane Helene to make landfall, never did he expect for his home to flood hundreds of miles away.

1/ Photojournalist Douglas R. Clifford has reported on dozens of storms since he began at the Tampa Bay Times in 1998. Ahead of Helene, Clifford awaited landfall from a Tallahassee hotel room, hundreds of miles from home. Then, he got a text from his wife: “Doug, I’m scared."

Our latest NPR Public Editor's Office newsletter is out. This week we examined an NPR story about a questionable viral moment, and its journalistic purpose. Plus, a Spotlight On around NPR’s coverage of FAFSA: https://t.co/3qbf327mZq

“I can say this now: I don’t believe you can ever truly relate unless you’ve been affected the way I was affected by Hurricane Helene that night. Because when I arrived home, it was just a moment of loss that I have not experienced before.” https://t.co/RNWFcEOCPx

Local journalists are working to reach isolated communities to fill in information gaps — while dealing with damage in their own lives from Hurricane Helene. Reporting by my colleague, Angela Fu: https://t.co/jdZkN5VEUW

Adam Clark couldn’t understand the obsession with Wawa. "It’s really a cult-like following." Had so much writing about one of the recipients of the @Poynter Prizes -- "The Oral History of Wawa" from @NJAdvanceMedia: https://t.co/nt8Qb3xzlN #PoynterPrizes

In my latest for @Poynter, I explored how the @TB_Times took its hurricane preparation plans to the next level. Thanks to the journalists who spoke with me about what amounts to an extensive and robust system: https://t.co/vSncLfDJ2d

Ryan Sorrell of the Kansas City Defender has been called a “visionary” and “information-dense,” in an endearing way. My latest for @Poynter is a profile on Sorrell. Thanks to Ryan and everyone who spoke with me for this article: https://t.co/JtR9GPeS3Y

Grateful for the opportunity to write about one of my favorite journalists for @TomWJones' The Poynter Report. David Gonzalez has left the @nytimes after nearly 34 years of documenting the stories of NYC's communities and of his beloved Bronx: https://t.co/fTLc0QbgLY https://t.co/Icj54Z8F0v
