Thousands of deaths in Baltimore to overdoses of fentanyl. An unflinching accounting of Indian boarding schools and the sexual abuse inflicted upon Native American children. Just two of the stories that won @Poynter Journalism Prizes today: https://t.co/HEQQvNt6dW

One thing I learned while working on this #Poynter50 profile is that the late Barbara Walters was about her business. The first woman to co-anchor a national news show on prime-time television, Walters didn’t just break barriers. She rewrote the rules. https://t.co/hC7jmCi4yK

In boarding schools, many Native children were beaten for speaking their languages, denigrated, denied food, and deprived of affection. One of them was Mary Annette Pember's mother. I spoke with the journalist about this legacy in her book, out tomorrow: https://t.co/C5jrsppach

For #ThePoynter50 series, I revisited the moment @TMZ broke the news of Michael Jackson's death. Hope you'll give it a read. And stay tuned for more big media moments from @Poynter. https://t.co/TmwA4xQy4O

"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
