OK now that I’m past the initial shock of this award (and have the kids in bed), here’s a little thread about how proud I am about the work of the people in this little newsroom.
“Impressive and important journalism delivered in thoughtful presentations" earns @KBIA the #Murrows2020 Overall Excellence Award for Small Market Radio. Congratulations, KBIA team!

Today, the Missouri School of Journalism is celebrating Founder’s Day and 112 years of excellence by establishing a new fund to support its professional newsrooms and agencies. Alumni are invited to give $19.08 in honor of our founding year.#MissouriMethod journalism.missouri.edu/2020…
This is a wonderful investment in our students, the future of business journalism and the Missouri School of Journalism. I look forward to seeing the lives this gift touches and the people who benefit from the journalism it supports. Thanks to our generous alumna.
A $3 million gift to @MoBusinessAlert from an anonymous donor will ensure the future of the J-School's statewide business news outlet and contribute to the education of students studying #BusinessJournalism. journalism.missouri.edu/2020…

Today, I got to field produce for my station’s coverage of the Bernie Rally in St. Louis the day before Missouri’s primary election.
AND I secured an exclusive, ONE ON ONE interview for my station.
It’s been a good day ☺️

I had a great time speaking with students and faculty at @mujschool this week. Thank you for the hospitality and the honor. And congrats to my fellow awardees.
It is a wonderful day when the great-granddaughter of @mujschool founder Walter Williams stops by for a visit. Peggy Eggemeyer and I are flanked by The Journalist’s Creed. Walter wrote it more than a century ago and it is still relevant today.
This is both interesting and fun. It is worth seeing if you are on campus. M-I-Z! – at Missouri, USA
Dean David Kurpius and associate deans Lynda Kraxberger, Fritz Cropp and Earnest Perry visited the #MizzouAIR tiger this morning at Jesse Hall. The art installation will be on display until the next big rainstorm. #MissouriMethod #MizzouMade
