Friends: Are you a journalist who has left the business? I want to speak to those who left and did a pivot — but not into comms/PR. If this is you, can you DM me? Thanks!!

I’m attending the @nabj winter board meeting online and Founder @coopty (Allison Davis) just showed a trailer of a film celebrating the organization’s 50th anniversary. It was *amazing*!!! #nabj #mediadiversity #journalism

#Aviation Queen here! How did I fall sleep on @IFlyOAKland, a no-stress #airport option in the Bay Area? It’s easy to navigate & has great local #food options. The support dogs were great for my kid, who has anxiety. Rental car was quick & easy both ways. #iflyoak #travel 1/2🧵

There’s a lot of wisdom in this year’s list of Nieman Labs 2025 predictions for the #journalism industry. This post hit home for me.

I remember the early 2000s, when #journalists turned their noses up to digital journalism & social media, calling them fads. AI is the next wave for journalism. 1/🧵
Play with AI like your career depends on it (it does)
"If you are a journalist or a journalism student, you should play with it, a lot, while it’s still open and cheap."

I'm on the ship fighting privileged people who don't understand the concept of line. "I have a flight to catch.”

Um we ALL do. So get in line with us. Do NOT test me this early in the morning!!

I LOVE karma. The main disembarkation door was jammed so we had to walk down 2 flights of stairs. 1/ 🧵
