This is one of the best local criminal justice journalists in the U.S.
If you're a national outlet interested in stories out of St. Louis (and Ferguson!) this is your person.
An elected city official just called to say he was “feeling great” to hear today’s news about the RFT, which I think says a lot about our reporting and the importance of local journalism more broadly. On that note, I’m looking for my next thing: [email protected].
An RFT secret: Despite his madman personae, Daniel is actually a super reliable, meticulous, productive dream of a co-worker. Be smart and scoop him up.
RIP RFT 1977-2024
helluva run, honestly held out longer than anyone could have imagined.
if anyone has a line on a suitable job for a degenerate lunatic who happens to have a way with words, hit up [email protected]
thanks for reading!
Sarah taught me so much. And what a team she had. It's a tragedy to see it busted up.
Well, on this story the RFT got scooped, and @stlpublicradio has a good overview of what we know about its future. It breaks my heart that the good stories we were working on won't be published. It breaks my heart that good people lost their jobs today stlpr.org/2024-05-22/rft-sol…
Well, this thread made me smile. And I'm so glad Monica became a journalist. We're better for it.
Reading @DoyleMurphy @rftmusic @D_Towski @sarahfenske and so many more in the RFT is a big reason why I became a journalist. To say this alt-weekly will be missed is an understatement. 🧵of a few bangers:
Wrecked by this. The RFT was a newspaper like no other. But I like knowing RFT alumni, including Kavahn, are working all over the country, injecting a bit of that energy, creativity and hunger for telling stories into their work.
The RFT served as my first professional newsroom.
@sarahfenske gave me a shot as an intern. Now I'm covering its death and I feel like I've been stabbed.

More than a quarter of our DJs disagreed w/ our BOLD NEW VISION. We fired 10 and sent the others for reeducation training. Happy fund drive!

Cool opportunity for newsrooms in the Miss. River Basin (covers 31 states, if you're counting) to host an environmental reporter through @agwaterdesk and @Report4America . agwaterdesk.org/2023/08/03/h…
Called Wildlife Control at St. Louis County, and one of the menu prompts is for an "animal creating a nuance."

🧵: Flooding is already a big problem in St. Louis — as anyone who was in U City last summer would attest. And it’s about to get worse, partly because of climate change but also because of how badly we’ve mismanaged our rivers riverfronttimes.com/news/st-…

There are 8 trans high school athletes. Total. In the entire state.
MSHSAA: "Since the application process opened in 2016, 13 students have applied. Currently, there are eight students actively participating in the state of Missouri.

It's always interesting to me see how MO politicians and #moleg uses stock images to reflect their vision of the Missourians.
This stock image? It can be found under the catchy title, "volleyball game sport with group of young beautiful girls indoor in sport arena school gym"
I am proud to have helped protect Missouri kids today by passing the Save Womens Sports Act and the SAFE Act. I will always protect our kids from the radical lefts woke ideology and gender affirming procedures. Our kids are our future, not woke science experiments. #moleg
