Without photojournalism, the news stays out of sight.

@nppa.org fights to protect the lens that keeps the public informed. Their work is more important than ever, but they need your help.

Read about their work and support them if you can.
The leading voice for visual journalists may be silenced. You can help.
We talked with the National Press Photographers Association’s Mickey Osterreicher about why NPPA’s work is more important than ever.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

With Meta out there banging on the "snitches get stitches" drum, seemed like a good time to lay out my best guidance for tech industry employees who feel a need to speak up. Below are a few notes:

He should have filmed himself with a chainsaw - then maybe people would have know that these kinds of efforts to cut waste are nothing new. They also take thoughtfulness and transparency.

Good on you @FoxNews! You actually put out there that climate related issues are being impacted. (Probably mindful of rural farmers and their need). Of course you still had to put “Dems” as a back door caveat and your constant partisan slant but baby steps 👍🏼🍼

I LOVE these photos. As a baby reporter, I was intimidated/inspired by Fran’s fearlessness in pressers, her breakneck speed and innumerable scoops. She remains an absolute machine. The women of the City Hall press corps owe her a debt for helping clear a path for us. Happy anniversary! 🥂

The Chronicle of Philanthropy created a project called The Commons to work through our differences. Their first video I worked on - two churches under one roof, Black and white congregations, led by a single hopeful Black pastor. But oh the challenges! www.philanthropy.com/commons/fait...
Does Faith Have an Answer for Our Biggest Divides?
Two churches aim to come together across differences of faith, race, and class. It’s a test of the unifying power of a belief in God, with thorny questions about identity and compromise.

I really enjoyed working on this video project for @inn.org! 3 states, several stories. The future of journalism is in the nonprofit models they champion. I loved the passion+vision of the journalists who allowed our team to share their stories.Plan B can still be a Plan A!
