The National Association of Black Journalists gives Stephen A. Smith the “Thumbs Down” award for his “recurring public pattern of disparaging public commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports and media.”

Tell @merrillwilliams her business is not sustainable paying below-market salaries! Time to raise the pay floor!

After another, quieter, week of layoffs impacting local staff, the Washington Post has now laid off all of its reporters who have covered Gaza full time since 2023.
This is a choice about what coverage and whose voices matter.

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.

If you want journalism to exist, maybe don't screenshot entire paywalled stories and post them on Twitter. You're not sticking it to the media industry, you're just making it harder for independent reporters to get paid for their work. Absolute loser behavior.

I feel like I talk about this every quarter, but I’ll say it again. We’re not being invested in. The days of Black ppl, especially women/queer folks/etc., being staff writers are a thing of the past. There are still a few left, but most of us have been forced into freelancing.

The worst part about this cyclical “where are the Black journalists/Black women in hip-hop media” conversation is nothing is gonna change. Non-Black ppl rule media, *especially* hip-hop. We’ve been sidelined in our own game. Most ppl see these discussions, shrug, and move on.

What’s happening? Just wanted to share a quick 🧵of some of the best stories I’ve done in 2024. Won’t be in chronological order tho.
Be on the lookout for the best of photos on IG.

Pretty much every single train from Boston to NYC is cancelled today… a train that already is slower than trains were in 1960s in most of the world…. The richest country of the world can run drones all over the world but not basic infrastructure for its own people

A member of Jocelyn Benson’s PAC tells me they may prohibit press from attending future community conversation events with local lawmakers “to make everyone feel safe.” I asked for an email to reach out ahead of the next event and they refused to provide one.
