Very excited to be chosen as a 2025 Fellow for Journalism Law School at Loyola Marymount.

Next week, I will participate in classes to learn more about Constitutional Law, Civil Law, evidence and Criminal Law - to name a few.

As many familiar with the JRN know, it launched as part of a Poynter project and announced on the last day of April, Alcohol Awareness Month.

To celebrate, we are hosting our 1st ever event for journalists in recovery today at 3 p.m. Here's what to expect:

Today, the @journalistsrn.bsky.social turns 1. It's an exciting milestone, as I never could have anticipated how much I would learn, & the impact we would have in a short year.

We've grown and aspire to continue that growth. But I am thankful for all the support thus far. 🧵

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! 📅

Join the @journalistsrn.bsky.social to celebrate our 1-year birthday & get to know us in our first virtual event.

⭐ The event will be an informal conversation to get to know our advisors.

⭐ The event is ANONYMOUS, and open to any journalist in recovery.

In a change of pace from the doom and gloom of my regular beat, here is the story of Wayne Musick, the owner of Nicholasville's The Boot Store.

October marked 40 years in business. He is super grateful about it, as you can tell.

Jeremy Bartley, the attorney for ex-sheriff Shawn Stines, said a deposition in the separate federal case — an investigation of Stines’ office — was a piece of the story that led to the shooting that rocked the small EKY town of Whitesburg this past fall.

🧵: Last week Stines was indicted for a sole count of aggravated murder. Here is some recap for you ahead of today's proceedings.

Former Letcher Co. Sheriff Shawn Stines, charged with murder, is set to appear at the courthouse in 30 minutes for arraignment in circuit court.

The question is if Judge Julia Adams will set a bond. Stines has been held without bond since his arrest in September.

Former Letcher Co. Sheriff Shawn Mickey Stines was indicted for murder Thursday.

The indictment was a procedural step, and didn’t offer any new information about the shooting of Judge Kevin Mullins.

Grateful to be recognized by the #KACDL for their media award.

Thank you to every attorney who took the time to teach me more about our legal system.

Thanks @tessaduvall.bsky.social for coming to support me!
