What's the power of local higher-ed beat reporting? ✅ It's less polarizing because it's specific and nuanced ✅ It's rooted in the context and history of a place ✅ It captures more than just explosive moments ✅ There's no parachuting medium.com/open-campus/campu…

Campus protests underscore the importance of local higher-ed reporting

When the demonstrations began, our reporters jumped into action — but they weren’t parachuting. They’re on the beat, every day.

It's been an honor to work at @MSTODAYnews with Adam, and I'm still gonna be rooting for this newsroom. They're hiring for a new managing editor (link in thread), so if you are interested and have questions about what the role's been like, hit me up!

Mississippi Today is Mississippi Today because of @KayAnneSkinner. A tremendous leader who has meant more to our newsroom's growth and success than anyone. The "bittersweet" cliche has never felt truer for me, but I'm mostly just grateful for it all. mississippitoday.org/2023/10…
