Today we mourn the loss of a brilliant journalist, but - more importantly - a magnificent human being. His listeners included ambassadors and the heads of US departments, but he never changed. He was utterly authentic and empathetic. Thank you, David. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09…

1/ Backstory: In 2020 while researching land conservation, I found more than 2,000 acres had recently been conserved by Boeing near LA. I’d never heard of the Santa Susana Field Lab, its contamination or the 1959 partial meltdown of an experimental nuclear reactor there
Boeing and dozens of other companies have granted ‘conservation easements’ on some of the most contaminated land in the U.S. Companies can save millions on cleanups with these deals, arguing no one will ever live there. Neighbors of one site are up in arms reut.rs/3J6SGhr

You might think a topic like “conservation easements” sounds boring. Not @JaimiDowdell of Reuters. She was curious about an old rocket-testing site Boeing owns in the California hills. She went document digging, with @andreajanuta, and look where that led: reuters.com/investigates/spe…
Maksim Levin, a photographer and videographer who was working for a Ukrainian news website and was a long-time contributor to Reuters, was killed while covering Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He leaves behind his wife and four children. reuters.com/world/ukrainian-…

“The bodies of the children all lie here, dumped into this narrow trench hastily dug into the frozen earth of Mariupol to the constant drumbeat of shelling. There’s 18-month-old Kirill, whose shrapnel wound to the head proved too much for his little toddler’s body…”
In the more than two weeks since Russia’s war began, two @AP journalists have been the only international media present in the Ukrainian seaport of Mariupol, chronicling its fall into despair. apne.ws/kD3ZmaO
Islamist groups have killed thousands of people in the Sahel in recent years. Amid the chaos, we found a pattern: Since early 2018, fighters executed or abducted at least 300 community leaders and relatives in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. reuters.com/investigates/spe… w/ @Ed_Reuters
