ViewFinder is coming up with new ways to tell stories that show the impact of others. @sportsgeorge has been an amazing resource for students at @merrillcollege and we helped film for #GivingDayUMD

A weekend spent learning from @atompkins is a good weekend. Thank you to @poynter_institute for having us.

Excited to be at @Poynter's intensive seminar with @Ohhh_Susannah, @sidniespinosa and @BethanysStories to learn more about accurately reporting stories on jails. Even more excited to tackle these complex topics with @vfstories. Keep an eye out for our work this semester 🤓
Starting off the second morning with @Poynter by learning about alternatives to jail and prison and the reason why individuals need these programs.

Day 2 here at @Poynter Covering Jails Seminar. With Maryland's first confirmed #COVIDー19 cases, we are thinking about those behind bars who are even more susceptible to contagion. themarshallproject.org/2020/…

Check out these powerful #s about racial incarceration disparities of men & women born in 2001 (so about the same age as many of my @merrillcollege @CNSmd @vfstories students). A day full of eye opening information including this by @lipiroy. Thanks @Poynter @atompkins #j262b – at Baltimore, MD
If a story about an arrest, “is that sensational that you’re going to report on it, you need to follow up on it,” advocate Kim Haven said as she and Ronald Simpson-Bey explain @Poynter how reporting can impact an incarcerated individual for the rest of their life.
Continuing to learn more about prison trends from @verainstitute

Many of our students took media law with Sandy Banisky and learned about pretrial assessment tools. Now they are learning again about these processes with @Poynter.
Good cross curriculum education @merrillcollege @UofMaryland
Listening to @NancyFishman1 from @verainstitute speak about the jail population and how jails are structured at the @Poynter conference with @atompkins
It is a decision to jail individuals. “It is a choice, and it is a choice we are making on a daily basis.”
The ore trial process resembles a “choose your own adventure” book.
The national mass incarceration issue is a local issue, and no two jails look alike according to @NancyFishman1
Staring off this morning with a bit of joyful dancing with @MorganStateU students and @atompkins before a long day of learning with @Poynter
We are excited to send two of our team members @sidniespinosa and @Ohhh_Susannah with @BethanysStories to the @Poynter conference with @atompkins to learn more about covering prisons as part of our #Season12 project
