NEW: @latimes will hire a masthead editor for talent and culture, who will oversee recruitment, retention, training and career development, as well as our Metpro and internship programs.

nantmedia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LATimesC…
Our newsroom is 46% women, 38% POC and nearly 7% LGBTQ but we all know that we have a long way to go in terms of diversity, equity, access and inclusion. This new position is a major step, but far from the only one.
We have been listening with humility as our #BlackatLAT colleagues have described painful past experiences. This institution can do better. It must do better. Our executive editor @NPearlstine will be addressing next steps later today.

My friend Mariel Garza just resigned as editorials editor of @latimes after the newspaper’s owner blocked the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris for president. cjr.org/business_of_ne…
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not OK with us being silent,” Garza told me in a phone conversation. “In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.”
On Oct. 11, Patrick Soon-Shiong, who bought @latimes in 2018, informed the editorial board that the Times would not be making an endorsement for president. The message was conveyed to Garza by Terry Tang, the paper’s editor.

#tribfest23 closing keynote. First Q from @evanasmith: Are you running for president?

Manchin: “I don’t know … I’ll do whatever it takes to try to bring my country together.” Expects to make decision by end of the year. Image
Manchin says only way to win presidency is through independents. Says he will not run to be a spoiler. “There’s no one willing to take our place” in global leadership. “We are the hope of the world because we’ve answered that call.” #TribFest23
Manchin: 60-70% of both parties unhappy about prospect of Trump-Biden rematch

Recent Pew poll: 28% of Americans expressed unfavorable views of both parties and 25% don’t feel represented.

EXCLUSIVE: The Texas Observer, the crusading liberal magazine founded in 1954, which Molly Ivins edited in the ’70s, is closing down and laying off its staff. The board voted on Wednesday, and again today, to proceed with the shutdown.

texastribune.org/2023/03/26/tex…
Co-founded by Ronnie Dugger in 1954, @TexasObserver chronicled an era in which Texas flipped from solidly D to solidly R. Unfortunately, it relied on a small number of major donors and didn’t manage to broaden its audience.

texastribune.org/2023/03/26/tex…
We had the sad duty this evening of informing @gabrielarana, the Observer’s editor in chief since April 2022, of the board’s decision. He told us: “This is the first I’m hearing of it, the board hasn’t communicated with me or the staff about this.”

Today I had the privilege of interviewing Anthony Graves, who served 18.5 years in prison (12 of them on death row) for a mass murder he did not commit. He was freed in 2010 and later awarded $1.4m in compensation.

texastribune.org/2023/03/07/tex…
Mr. Graves told me that a mix of naivete, faith, love and determination sustained him and kept him from losing his sanity and his humanity while he was imprisoned—in solitary confinement during his time on death row.
The prosecutor who sent Mr. Graves to prison was disbarred in 2015 for withholding evidence and misleading the court. It was Mr. Graves who filed the complaint with the Texas State Bar. texastribune.org/2015/06/12/pro…

NEWS: @TexasTribune is one of 11 new @_trustproject partners! We abide by 8 Trust Indicators including fairness and accuracy; transparency about our mission, funding and methods; diversity of perspectives; and opportunities for engagement.
thetrustproject.org/2023/03/trust-…
The @_trustproject’s guiding principles stem from the 1947 Hutchins Commission on Freedom of the Press. The 8 Trust Indicators show who and what is behind a news story so people can easily assess for themselves whether it comes from a credible source.
Only 26% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the news media — but more than twice as many Americans report high trust in local news than they do in national news. knightfoundation.org/reports/americ…

Listening to @georgewill and @KarlRove on “The Future of Conservatism,” sponsored by @LBJFoundation @TheLBJSchool @ClementsCenter and UT Athenaeum. Packed crowd at @LBJLibrary.
What is conservatism? Rove: “We used to be the party that was constitutionalist, limited government, federalism and strong national defense and respect for the individual. A lot of those old touchstones have been ignored or diminished.”
Will: for 100 years the debate has been btw conservatism (there exists a fixed human nature) and progressivism (if you remake the culture, you can remake the citizen).
