i've always dreamt of making a documentary. during my last term at UO, i finally got the chance to do it.
proud to say that it's finally out, and i'm pretty excited about it. it's called "Inside the Ring", watch the trailer here and the full link is in the replies

This is one of the bleakest media layoff memos I’ve seen in 12 years covering the industry. Ugh.
awful news. this is where my career started, learned a lot at this newspaper. sad day for the hard working staff that will lose their jobs and the community that will lose its only local news source. oregonlive.com/business/2026…

“I support our local journalists at The Herald and share my unwavering support for a successful outcome to contract negotiations, especially in this new day where just the act of being a journalist is an act of bravery.” - Paula Rhyne, Everett City Council
thanks everyone for coming out to support last night. great show of solidarity to tell @EverettHerald management that the community supports local journalists, not corporate stooges.

We’re still trying to negotiate our first contract, but @EverettHerald management isn’t playing ball. ⚾️⚾️ We handed out flyers at last night’s @EverettAquaSox game, asking folks to support our fight for a living wage and fair working conditions.
3,500 words on an important local election. simply would not be possible with a 2-3 story per day quota!

I am very proud of the folks who are continuing to push this forward, it is and has been a brutal union fight.
I'll add a warning: Carpenter Media is a major threat to American journalism. If they come to your community, watch out.
we’ve gone too long being treated like we’re worthless, being offered minimum wage for our work. we deserve better and snohomish county deserves better. join our fight for fair wages and working conditions!
UPDATE: The Everett NewsGuild is calling on Herald subscribers to support their contract fight as Carpenter Media Group continues to offer low wages and tie meager raises to story quotas. (1/5)

The center provides early education to more than 70 children. The college had previously planned to close the school in 2021, @willgeschke reports. heraldnet.com/news/everett-c…
we heard about a new program which takes children out of public school during the day for religious classes. @jennarpetersonn and i spent more than a month looking into why it started and why parents at the school have concerns.
