She/her. Faculty, @poynterinstitute.bsky.social. Previously Washington Post, Philly Inquirer, CBC News. Here to talk about local news, pizza toppings, and arbitrary absurdity. I don’t argue with people on the internet. Mostly Canadian.

🚨 Some personal news (are we doing that here?) 🚨
I’m leaving The Washington Post to join the faculty at @poynterinstitute.bsky.social, where I’ll focus on training funders on journalism ethics and how they can meaningfully support local news.

I can’t tell you how discombobulating this all is as someone who mostly does not pay attention to sports and then is suddenly watching <waves hands wildly> all this

The Testament of Ann Lee made me incredibly happy … that I don’t live in the 18th century. Also, I was happy when it was over.

Every major publication in this country needs to have dedicated staffers or correspondents reporting on gaming, streamers, podcasts, and TikTok. Not as a once in a while thing. As standard beats. These are massive segments of American culture. No excuses for it anymore.

We are impressed with your dedication, and amazed it never occurred to us to order our Heritage Minutes playlist chronologically! (We do have some thematic playlists, but the HM one is more or less added to whenever we release a new one).

For Canada's 150th birthday in 2017, I hosted a Canada Day party in which my invited guests and I watched every Heritage Minute in order while eating butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, Timbits, Coffee Crisps, ketchup chips, and other Canadian snacks. 🍁
There was SO MUCH quoting of all the classic lines!
