🧵1/ Today is my last day at @publicintegrity. I received my pink slip along with my colleagues the same day I was writing the obituary of our former colleague, @yanicklitwiller. The timing sucked but that’s life. Thank you @kristianreports for being such a great colleague. 🧵2/ I’m proud of ALL our work. @C_C_Mitchell @kristianreports @amydipierro @JoeYerardi @msrikris @jsmithhopkins @Ash__tag__ @aprilleticia @AlexiaCampbell @mizamudio @a_mendelson @mattderienzo @elainadimonaco @jayohday @j_la28 @pratheekrebala Peter, Vanessa, Janeen & Charlie

🧵1/ When the Investigative and Data Reporting Task Force launched on April 2021, it became obvious that there's a great need to create a pipeline for Latinx journos to produce investigative and data driven work but also work on management roles. @NAHJ @YCabreraOC @fajardonews 2/ Since then, we organized in subcommittees and met monthly. At the investigative and data subcommittee, we brainstormed needs and provided training for our members. Special thanks to members who helped @DanielaIbarraTV & speakers @Kimbriell @AvQueenBenet @TaliaBuford @NAHJ

🧵 1/Last Saturday, I attended @spj_tweets National Board meeting to urge the board to consider killing its training program with Facebook, which I described as an evil platform. Why? I was one of those trainers and didn't go beyond providing two training sessions. 🧵 2/ I joined the team of trainers because they were looking for Spanish speakers. Facebook has a foundation and they provide funding for programs like the one with SPJ where they work with journalists to train newsrooms and college students about this evil platform. Yes, evil.

@PeterPumer Here he ingredients to get you started. @PeterPumer This is a caldero, a pot we used in Puerto Rico to cook rice.
