I want to say this. Pay for your news. Support public radio. Subscribe to the NYT and others. Journalism matters. It’s been bartered and discredited by those who stand to benefit. But everyone has the power to change that.
This has been a hard week at @npr not least because it is losing legendary international reporters. @spoggioli1 and @deborahamos who paved the way for those of us who followed in their intrepid and knowledgeable footsteps. 🫡 I will miss your voices on air.

None of the 18 faces termination.
11 of them still work for the state wbez.org/stories/correctiona…

The NPR story on restrictive covenants launched last week. Today is the @WBEZ local story where I spent months combing through Cook County records. And the public uploaded deeds they found on their own property records. I found out a lot. wbez.org/stories/chicago-hom…

Shameless plug: @WBEZCuriousCity has a not-so-depressing story about Split Pea soup with a side of, as always, Chicago history. Thanks @lindalutton!🥣 wbez.org/stories/split-pea-s…
