Report for America's National Gathering is pure magic. This is a tough time to be a journalist, and it's rewarding to create an experience that equips, inspires and energizes local journalists for the work ahead.
.@Report4America brought journalists from every corner of the country to Minneapolis last week for the service program’s 2024 National Gathering.
It was an opportunity to connect and learn in a way that can only be done in person.

My latest. "How AI could sap — or save — local news: The answers to these 9 questions could shape the outcome of artificial intelligence’s effects on the local news sector." One conclusion: AI will require more local reporters not less. poynter.org/commentary/2024/…

Hate to see our friends at the @ocplaindealer go through this but are very excited to report that a growing number of donations are rolling in to support their coverage of the community!
(Beyond having a corps member in their newsroom, we're proud to be their fiscal sponsor)
Someone didn't like this edition of @ocplaindealer. (Guess which article.) So they stole nearly every newspaper out of our racks in Ouray County. If you hoped to silence or intimidate us, you failed miserably. We'll find out who did this. And another press run is imminent.
It's that super special day of the year when @Report4America announces dozens of new open positions. Applications are now open for journalists to apply. It takes just 1 application to put your name in the hat for 50+ exciting and important reporting jobs. reportforamerica.org/2023/12…
If you support local news, today is a special day to donate to @Report4America because you'll TRIPLE your impact. All donations today are matched 3X. bit.ly/giveRFA23
#GivingTuesday2023 #GivingNewsDay
It's #GivingNewsday, the perfect day to show your commitment to public service local journalism. Until midnight TODAY ONLY, for every dollar you give, we get $3. Will you support our work? bit.ly/giveRFA23

Justice has prevailed for our @UMWallaceHouse 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow Emilio Gutiérrez Soto. A long awaited win for those of us fighting for the freedom and safety of the press. Eternally thankful to our colleagues at @PressClubDC @rcfp @UMich who partnered in the fight.
Emilio Gutiérrez Soto wins U.S. asylum after 15 years.
We thank @umich colleagues and the A2 community who helped us create a safe haven for Emilio during his 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellowship and the ensuing years.

My parents left everything behind in Cuba for a chance at freedom in the United States. Today, their younger daughter becomes a published author. It is an overwhelming feeling and a life-long dream that has come true.

Flattered to be the graduation speaker for @Report4America. Congrats to graduates.
“You have stories to tell in your voices from your own perspective, from your own experiences. And that’s why you deserve a place at the table,” said @NABJ President @Dorothy4NABJ in commencement address for this year's @Report4America graduation.

The most riveting documentary I saw at the @mkefilm festival was BAD PRESS about the fight for press freedom in Muscogee (Creek) Nation. If you're a journalist or care about press freedom, see this film if you can! Shoutout to directors @BeccaLandsberry and @heyjoepeeler.
MAHOGANY DRIVE, a comedy-horror short film about three Black friends (from @clubastronomy) who wake up to find a dead white woman on the floor of their Airbnb. /4
Thank you, @mkefilm, for another fantastic Milwaukee Film Festival! The festival and @TheOrientalMKE are two of many reasons I love living in Milwaukee.
