1/ Three years ago, I was in the weeds working on what would become White Lies, @TBowmanNPR swung by to tell me about an alleged coverup early in the Iraq War. Together, we dug in. Today, we’re sharing what we’ve learned in NPR’s new podcast Taking Cover. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

US monitoring of human rights overseas may be about to change drastically. If this happens, it will be catastrophic for human rights defenders, asylum applicants, and many others. And could impact human rights accountability here at home.

Our executive director @dpaulobrien spoke with @GPublic about our deep concerns with the U.S. State Department cutting out numerous references to human rights violations in its annual report on human rights. Listen here:

More prisoners were freed, and one of the detainees asked the photographer, “What is happening?” The photographer replied, “Assad has fallen. Look at how happy he is.”

Local newspaper closures have led to fading civic engagement, eroding social bonds, surging misinformation, & dwindling government accountability. Today, 20+ funders, including @KnightFdn, are launching #PressFWD, a national fund to revitalize local news. (1/4)

NEW: Oliver Anthony blasts Fox News for using his song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ at the GOP debate, says it made him “crack up” because he wrote that song about “those people.”
“It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them. It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and act like we're fighting the same struggle here.”
“It was funny seeing it at the presidential debate 'cause it's like I wrote that song about those people, you know, so for them to have to sit there and listen to that, uh, that cracks me up.”

A bit awkward but apparently there was a LaLa Land/Moonlight situation with the Murrows this year and I won an award for my reporting on the Fall of Roe.
Obviously I’m honored and feel bad for everyone about the glitch, but mistakes happen. Thank you!

How are we thinking about podcasts, how they’re made, thought of and financed now that the bubble has burst? My latest from @VanityFair vanityfair.com/news/2023/07/…
Thanks for your thoughts @DavyGardner @TribecaAudio @samsanders @iraglass

Received a note that two of NPR's international correspondents are visiting Washington.
Our editor called them "the Flungs." As in our far-flung colleagues! Years after many news orgs shut down most or all overseas bureaus, NPR still covers the world. Here's to the flungs.

With the retirement of Marine commandant GEN David Berger and Sen Tommy Tuberville’s block on senior military nominations over abortion policy, the assistant commandant GEN Eric Smith will be “acting” commandant — and handle both jobs. Smith is the nominee for the top Marine job
