10 Idaho Statesman reporters — more than half the staff — were laid off Thursday by McClatchy, our hedge-fund-backed owner. Sadly, many don’t have large savings. Please consider donating to help cover their bills. Any amount helps! bit.ly/4cGQk8X

National media loves to treat local reporters like the minor leagues. Network panels argue about ‘the national mood’ for 3 hours and still tell you less than the local reporter who’s covered the same town for 15 years. Big difference between being famous and being informed.

if you can't handle local tv, how are you going to be able to handle national media, much of which has an interest in pushing/pursuing narratives about how terrible you/your state are?

This is a common misunderstanding. We don’t/can’t quote everyone we talk to. You can stop returning calls, but that basically guarantees you’ll never be quoted

Speaking in general terms: When you’re a journalist who happens to be White, they call your work “analysis.” When you’re a journalist representing a “minoritized” community, they call your work “activism” with an “agenda.” #JournalismSoWhite âŹ‡ïž

Hot take: As an editor, there *is* a difference between journalism and activism, and if you are from a minority community you sometimes have to make sure *that your identity is not seen as a bias* Let me explain:

Found out myself and my talented @seattletimes coworkers were Pulitzer finalists while in WDW on a family trip
 Insanity. And, in case you’re wondering, I did run through the Animal Kingdom Lodge in a wet swimsuit to tell my parents.

Announcing this on the day the Pulitzers were announced is wild. Do you honest to God believe that a machine can do work that humans do? Work that changes lives????
