Looking forward to speaking at today's @UWEJournalism event on the sustainability of #LocalNews - specifically, public interest news (as opposed to commercial/tabloid).

#LocalNews has been shelled out & corporate mergers abound in the internet era. Many have been left with inadequate news, if any

@craignewmark @jacquipark 1. Local news media is the most disrupted sector of the media, the most urgently in need of assistance – and the sector with the greatest potential to form the bedrock for a new, stronger media ecosystem. 3/14

I finally got to go home to Montana this month. I hugged my mom for the first time in a year.
7 days later- I found out I had #COVID-19.

I burst into tears when I heard the news. I had mild symptoms at first, so I was shocked.
My first thought was who I had possibly exposed before I showed symptoms, including my mom, who has compromised lungs.

I’m a journalist who has been covering #COVID for months. But no amount of interviews or coverage could have prepared me for the news.
I know that people end up fine in the majority of cases.
I also know the virus is a killer.

I finally have a legit personal & professional news announcement, and it doubles as a #DecadeinReview #lookback: I am moving to Philadelphia in the new year to join @PhillyInquirer as a digital producer! 10.5 yrs ago, I had just finished an internship w their health desk. 1/?
@PhillyInquirer A lot has happened since then. My 1st FT #journalism job @bkreporter where I burned shoe rubber cultivating love/appreciation of #localnews in my home borough as a reporter/magazine EIC/digital editor for four years, then @bklyner, #freelancer life and, currently, @flipboard. 2/?
@PhillyInquirer @bkreporter @bklyner @Flipboard Leaving @flipboard as breaking news editor is bittersweet. 6 mos turned into 2 yrs thanks to valuable work & amazing colleagues who made a remote newsroom feel interactive & seamless.

#Mahshahr, the heart of #Iran’s petrochemical industry, is known for something else these days: military vehicles, machine guns, security forces firing on protesters. Officials say people were armed, but the residents tell a different story #Novembert19Protests #localnews
#Iranian officials have accused the country’s protesters of being rioters and terrorists. But, a resident of #Mahshahr tells us, “these are hungry people,” people without work, people who can’t see a future for their children.

#Novembert19Protests #localnews
Recently, President @HassanRouhani said absolute poverty didn’t exist in #Iran. He should pay a visit to these residents of #Mahshahr, many of whom are veterans from the Iran-Iraq war. “Poor people just have to wait to die,” one of them said.

“Core values of #journalism do not change, but practices must change to reflect current reality.” #trustinmedia #ona18 Cannot assume readers understand what we do, how/why we do it. They don’t. Have to stop priding ourselves on being opaque. #transparency @knightfdn #newsliteracy
@knightfdn “Radical #transparency” means we explain methods, decisions in real time. Not after reaction. 2-way communication. Big problem tho: readers conflate news and opinion stories. And media outlets also conflate it too often. #ona18 #trustinmedia #journalism #fakenews
