1. This is well deserved! Congrats to @NateNewsNow @ericgrossarth & @NateSunderland! @EastIDNews is a model of what local journalism should be. They really rose to the challenge of covering the Daybell case which spanned 5 states. Awards are for 2 Daybell stories + another story.
2. The trio got first place in the Video: General Assignment within 24 Hours category for this exclusive that took them to Kauai to find the Daybells: "Daybells served warrants in Hawaii".

3. They received second place in the Video Series category for their "The Daybell case unfolds" series.

4. @NateNewsNow received second place in the Video Features category for "Losing limbs but never losing hope" a profile of 9-year-old Rosalie Parker.

5. I've never been to Idaho, don't know anyone there, and never thought I'd find myself following news stories from Eastern Idaho. 😮

But after finding @EastIDNews because of their Daybell coverage, YouTube continues to recommend their content to me and I've been impressed.
6. Their coverage of the Daybell case has been more nuanced than some other outlets because of their knowledge of the local community in Rexburg and Salem where Lori and Chad last lived before going to jail, their ability to get tips from members of the community, and...
7. ... their knowledge of traditional LDS teachings and how they differ from the beliefs that Chad & Lori subscribe to.
8. East Idaho News does a mix of online written and video reporting including produced segments and livestreams.

They have a couple of long running human interest segments that I love—Feel Good Friday and a Secret Santa series.
9. On Fridays they surprise 🎊 a local resident who has been nominated by others in the community for good deeds — both one-offs and long-term good deeds that make Eastern Idaho a better place.

10. They show up with an array of gifts — usually gift cards and sometimes flowers, candy, donations, or other surprises. 🎁💐🍬

10. Since Christmas 2015 they have partnered with an anonymous local Secret Santa to give away life-changing gifts of money, cars, and more to people in need who are nominated by community members. 💵🚙🚗

11. Really glad to see the national attention they've garnered because of their great work!

1. Just skimmed Amy Cooper's complaint against her former employer which you can find at the bottom of this article. Should be interesting to see how this case goes.

I'll highlight a few things below.

2. For those who missed or don't remember this case, Amy Cooper was the white dog owner who was caught on video by Christian Cooper (no relation), a black birder, having a meltdown in the Ramble section of Central Park last May.
3. They were having a confrontation over Amy's dog being off-leash, which isn't permitted in the Ramble. Christian had reportedly asked her to leash her dog, she refused, and things escalated.

1. This weekend I watched a documentary on violence interrupters in Chicago. Went back & pulled some quotes about the work they do and how they view & treat violence as a contagious disease.

(If you’re allergic to profanity, this thread is not for you.)

2. There is similar research that shows that incivility and kindness are also contagious.

3.

1. Here’s an update on how things are going in Minneapolis, one year after the police killing of George Floyd on 5/25/20.

2. Sharrie Jennings from north Minneapolis should be going viral. She’s the grandmother of Ladavionne Garrett Jr., a 10-year-old boy who is one of 3 black children between the ages of 6 & 10 who’ve been shot in north Minneapolis in the past month.

3. I really encourage people to watch the full video of Sharrie’s fiery remarks but if you don’t have time, here’s the story:

I came across this interesting piece by Séverine Autesserre (@SeverineA), a political science professor at Barnard College who specializes in international relations and African studies with a focus on civil wars & peacebuilding. ↓

Séverine’s piece outlines “three things US residents can learn from inhabitants of war-torn places that can help them to combat extremism and violence around them.” ↓
1: “[D]evelop informal relationships with our opponents, whether they be political, religious, or cultural adversaries. …

🧵 A few folks have noticed that I haven’t been tweeting much and asked me how I was doing.

I’ve been dealing with some odd symptoms and didn’t want to talk about it publicly until I had answers. 😔
There’s still a bunch of things up in the air but in March I found out on routine surveillance MRIs for multiple sclerosis (MS) that I have new lesions on my brain. 🧠😕 I appeared to be asymptomatic on the MS front at the time.
After that, I developed some odd symptoms that didn’t seem to be linked. They were most likely injuries I caused myself by pushing myself too much when I tried a breathwork program to improve my shortness of breath, a symptom caused by ME/CFS. 🌬

1. This is not how you create positive demographic change in the media. 🙅🏻‍♀️

2. Kudos to Gregory Pratt (@royalpratt) & @chicagotribune for declining this interview with Mayor Lightfoot. 👏

"Politicians don’t get to choose who covers them.”

3. If POC want to increase our numbers in media, we can support student newspapers at high schools and colleges with high POC populations.
