Starbucks & other corporations came to Ferguson after #MichaelBrown was shot, but not to the neighborhood where he died. All the corporate goodwill & $$ in investments were not enough to overcome a long legacy of racial discrimination & economic exclusion washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…

THREAD: It's been hard to figure out what recovery is going to be amid this global pandemic.

Stories from around the newsroom will to focus on what recovery looks like, which might not mean a return to 'normal', rather, a *new* normal.
Like this @RickMaese story about golf - a naturally socially-distant sport that's booming during the pandemic.

#AAJA2020 Best thing I learned from good managers: Practicing empathy - learning what their team's goals are & also what makes them miserable. Good managers want their team to succeed, not just themselves. They're not the loudest voice in the room. - @sclary

#AAJA20 The best managers I've had have been coaches. They give you the tools and the skills you need to get the job done. You let folks flourish - you give them the freedom to be who they are, rather than shape them yourself. - @juliachanb
