Among local govts, St. Louis is in a class by itself with its glacial handling of records requests. For a 3rd straight year, the city took 100+ days to answer @stltoday's annual request for payroll data. St. Louis County needed just 8.

For years, the Post-Dispatch has had only one (but mighty) education reporter to cover the metro area. I'm honored to join Blythe in covering our schools!

After criticism, St. Louis police publish detailed crime data for the first time in 3 years, via @ByDanaRieck. This is the result of dogged reporting by @kirkman. stltoday.com/news/local/crim… via @stltoday

“This was a loss not just for us, but for press freedom and those First Amendment rights.” @stltoday's @alanachkar, after a judge issued a preliminary injunction in Sept. barring the paper from publishing details about the defendant in a criminal trial. pressfreedomtracker.us/all-i…

Our P-D family mourns the loss of beloved baseball writing legend, Hall of Famer Rick Hummel. @dgoold wrote a beautiful tribute to Commish. He was a giant in his profession who never made others feel small. Sending love to his family and many, many fans. stltoday.com/sports/baseball…

My colleague. My mentor. My dearest friend.
And he deserves my absolute best to capture the incredible life of the beloved Hall of Fame baseball writer who defined professionalism and the profession.
Rick Hummel (1946-2023)
The Commish, RIP.

They say there’s no cheering in the press box. Well, don’t be surprised if you hear an ovation there Sunday — after he meets deadline, of course.
Hall of Famer Rick Hummel has taught everyone in the box how to do the job better. stltoday.com/sports/baseball…
Because public records are supposed to be, you know, public.
Messenger: Where are the records to explain St. Louis jail conditions? City won't say. @BigElad @MarkPedroli #SunshineLaw @ArchCityDefense @ActionSTL stltoday.com/news/local/colu…
No, this is not easy to pull off after 10:30 pm. Part of the daily miracle by a great crew. Photo @kodacohen, who’s always clutch. And if you’re not reading @dgoold and @Ben_Fred on @stltoday, you’re missing out.
