Most Main St. businesses were boarded up on the walk over from the newsroom. Some are tagged as Black-owned.
About 75 people right now outside the Justice Center, where APD is headquartered. Very peaceful right now. Some are calling to break the 9 pm curfew that was imposed earlier today.
I'm amassed nearly 10k tiktok followers in the last few days from covering abortion and Jayland Walker protests. I only started posting LAST WEEK. (con't)
Young people have always been an elusive audience for news operations, particularly print papers. This could be a solution and we as reporters need to be adaptive to that. tiktok is the way many people in my generation consume news/current events
Gen Z is very politically active and hungry for info, but there's a LOT of misinformation on TikTok. We need to make sure we're getting out facts in an engaging way.
