"We have a newspaper that's printed once a week, so without the radio station, we're kind of in the blind here, locally."
NPR's Frank Langfitt's richly observed story on Allegheny Mountain Radio - which relies heavily on federal $. (Not an NPR station)

The Washington Post has a strong tradition of covering itself, *especially* on difficult stories. Bill Green's investigation of the Janet Cooke scandal during the Bradlee era set a very high bar that the institution has consistently upheld with tough, fair-minded reporting:

NEWS: When it became clear Wash Post managing editor Matea Gold was heading to the NYT, a WaPo reporter prepared a story.
Acting Executive Editor Matt Murray killed it, saying the paper shouldn't be covering itself. "Pin it on me," he said.

Huge loss for the WaPo, epic gain for the NYT: nytimes.com/2024/12/09/busin…
Even if you're not a classical music or Chopin fan, this is worth a read w/ brilliant presentation and supporting audio files. nytimes.com/2024/10/27/arts/…

It tells you everything that Vance emphasizes the difficulties faced by his wife as a “working mom” when he was a working dad to those exact same kids and appeared to face no difficulties.

It’s extraordinarily powerful to hear @KamalaHarris, the next President of the United States, addressing the financial and emotional hardship of women being forced to travel hundreds of miles to access essential health care that should be available in their community.
In 10 yrs, US Govt policy & action on recovering citizens held hostage or unlawfully detained abroad, has evolved for the better thanks in large part to the tenacious work and dedication of @FoleyDi and others who have experienced such trauma.
“Ten years ago Monday, my son, the journalist James Foley, was brutally murdered by ISIS in Syria,” writes Diane Foley. His killing helped to change U.S. policy.

Congratulations to @brittneygriner & @jrpsaki on their books published today. I got to talk to both of them in recent days. BG on life after her hostage ordeal — Q&A in @postopinons shortly — and Jen on a new layer of @yeganehsalehi & my saga she writes about in “Say More.”

Austin’s family does not have regular contact with State Department. The Tices have an excellent SPEHA officer who has been assigned to Doha since 10/7 so you can imagine he is occupied. He is the only one from State who talks to them. Wendy Sherman used to.
NEW!! U.S. says will continue to work ‘every available path’ to ensure the return of Austin Tice, an American journalist who as abducted in Syria about 12 years ago…

.@evangershkovich has spent more than 400 days in a Russian prison on bogus charges without trial and @Austin_Tice has spent more than 4,200 days in captivity after being abducted in Syria. The publishers and editors of the @nytimes @WSJ and @washingtonpost come together on World Press Freedom Day to highlight their cases and those of other missing and detained journalists. #IStandwithEvan #FreeAustinTice
