Friends, I'm looking to speak with people who are upset about the Democrats' shutdown deal and who can speak about how increasing healthcare costs will impact them. If that's you, I can be reached via DM or at andrea.gonzalez@voxmedia.com. We can also protect people's identities as needed.

"I'm not saying we have to be pack rats. But to just throw away words that you've written — or for me, sometimes it's even concert stuff, or photos from old phones — I mean, I'm worth keeping." — @danyelsmith.bsky.social

I know a lot about Toni Morrison, the writer. But I am more intrigued by Morrison, the editor. So when I discovered Dana A. Williams was writing "Toni at Random: The Iconic Writer's Legendary Editorship," I knew I had to interview her for the @niemanstoryboard.org podcast.

Just dropped: my conversation w/ @akibasolomon.bsky.social from @themarshallproject.org. We discuss why language matters when journalists write and talk about incarceration. Akiba says it best: Clarity conveys fairness. Take a listen.

Thanks to ‪@markarms.bsky.social‬ for the opportunity.

Words matter! For the latest @niemanstoryboard.org podcast, @cmtapper.bsky.social sat down with @themarshallproject.org's @akibasolomon.bsky.social to discuss how journalists write about incarceration.
