The newsroom that raised me, and so many other journalists, is luxury condos. Now the printing plant that churned out our work is becoming a casino. Breaks a big, formative part of my heart 💔

As mother of a child that died of a cancer that is so statistically rare it is not even researched, thinking of children in statistical terms is never the way to go. Kids are the whole world for the people who love them and reducing them to a statistic is cruel, dismissive, cold.
Great reporting; brave stories.
Today @chicagotribune published our special report exploring the treatment of women employed at Chicago radio stations.
We interviewed three dozen women about the culture they said they have endured in what many described as an industry dominated by men.

How could you not read an article that describes tornado-damaged trees as “bark peeled away like banana skins” and “evergreen sentinels?” Great story by the one and only @JohnKeilman
