My once-a-decade take on Mitt and his mutt...

Globe Magazine @BostonGlobeMag

Perspective: Kristi Noem’s Cricket, Mitt Romney’s Seamus, and the GOP dog problem. The instant comparisons were a pretty good metaphor for understanding how discourse within the Republican Party has coarsened. https://t.co/ABFQnt0lBg

The @chronicle has a story today about how colleges will, as of July 1, no longer be able to hold student transcripts hostage. Hallelujah. First exposed this troubling higher-ed practice in this @BostonGlobeMag piece 8 years ago (and then on @cspan). https://t.co/xn0icZjMuv

Love working with, and learning from, these friends. The all-star @AlrayScholars board at our annual strategy retreat. https://t.co/UCEONSSb7g

A great partnership! @BrandeisJOUR @brookline_news

This was our first story published in collaboration with the Reinventing Journalism class at Brandeis University (and professor @neilswidey). More to come!

Fascinating and funny discussion last night about reinventing journalism with innovative @MattWBZ. Great to team up with my @BrandeisU colleague @Adriana_Lacy and our bright @BrandeisJOUR students (including our photographer Khimaya Bagla). https://t.co/Hv620TP7T8

So great working with you on this, @Adriana_Lacy. Thanks for all the terrific work and insights, @MattWBZ. Our @BrandeisU students loved hearing from you.

It’s not every day you get to hear from THE king of Boston TikTok @MattWBZ! Thanks for spending some time with the folks at @BrandeisJOUR! Had a blast moderating the session with @neilswidey https://t.co/BGlxP6ucrq

A treat for @annsilvio and me to welcome friends @Adrian_Walker and @EvanMAllen to @BrandeisU to discuss the brilliant @BostonGlobe narrative series and podcast reexamining the Stuart case 3 decades later. Great questions from our @BrandeisJOUR students. Photos by Khimaya Bagla. https://t.co/fXGB9XDJx4

Great opp to work with all-star @VeronicaChao and her talented team.

Another master class from hall-of-fame former Globe editor Tom Mulvoy.

Dorchester Reporter @DotNews

The Reporter's Tom Mulvoy recounts a deadly day in 1968 that claimed the life of three American GIs — including #Dorchester's Donald Greene— and surviving Vietnam vet Mike Cunningham's search for a missing comrade https://t.co/HCGU9o1Tal https://t.co/YTrtqiCj3X

Requests from homeless people? Here's some advice from Dr. Jim O'Connell's 40 years: Make eye contact, treating them like the fellow human beings they are. Consider handing them a Dunkin’ gift card for $5, so they can get a coffee and access to a restroom. https://t.co/j4Xr1Gj5fM

What happens when a doctor who has cared for Boston's homeless population for 40 years in "blessed obscurity" gets the bestseller treatment from Tracy Kidder? I wrote about Dr. Jim O'Connell for this year's @BostonGlobeMag "Bostonians of the Year" issue. https://t.co/j4Xr1Gj5fM

Come work with us at the Brandeis Journalism Program. A rare opportunity for a full-time Professor of the Practice of #Journalism. Seeking the right person to complement our dynamic @BrandeisJOUR faculty team. Apply by Nov. 30. #HigherEd #journalismjobs https://t.co/EoJtBFk6Yp

A great day on campus yesterday with @JudyWoodruff of @NewsHour for the @BrandeisU 75th anniversary. Our @BrandeisJOUR students had lots of great questions for Judy, and the pioneering broadcast journalist had lots of inspiring answers. (W/ Ann Silvio.

We all should know more about journalist Monroe Trotter, and the eye-opening biography of him by Kerri Greenidge of @TuftsUniversity is the ideal place to go. https://t.co/1q1DZ2fEaR
