Subscribe to @GalesCreekNews! I did today in anticipation of @ChasHundley's return and b/c the "Dispatches from History" are fantastic for history nerds like me.
I think the worst part of recovering from a concussion is that journalism is REALLY HARD right now. I'm having to drop so much election coverage. It feels like I'm letting our readers down but piecing words together is just beyond my reach for a few more days.

Excited to announce @washingtonpost has dropped the paywall for our Trans in America series! We partnered with Kaiser Family Foundation to conduct this groundbreaking poll. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

In Oregon, even with challenges of the news business, journalists continue to put the Oregon Public Records Law to effective use - for Oregonians. @tbottomly writes about the matter in her latest column for @Oregonian. #FOIA @rcfp oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/…

“There are data centers all over the country and right here in Oregon, and the amount of water they consume is something that’s incredibly important to all water users,” said @Ell_en, who represented @Oregonian. rcfp.org/dalles-google-orego…

Fighting for rightful public access to government documents can require patience and significant legal costs. @Oregonian and @RCFP persisted - and got the right outcome for Oregonians. #FOIA #Transparency
The Dalles has agreed to disclose how much of the Oregon city’s water Google’s data centers use, abandoning a 13-month legal fight to keep the information secret.

pamplinmedia.com/wlt/95-news… This story is the result of a two-month fight for those records. Thanks to @Ell_en for helping with the fight by advising me on the appeal of my initial denied records request and to WL City Councilors for pushing the city to waive $737 in records fees

A reminder, on this election day, that @OPB is hiring a crackerjack political reporter to cover Portland City Hall, aka the best beat in the best city. Pay is $65k-75k. Job is awesome. DM or email w/questions. Here's a cute picture of my cynical dog. workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/…

Buckle up, Oregonians
East winds will increase late tonight & persist into Saturday night across the western Columbia River Gorge & the west slopes of the Cascades creating a period of high fire danger. Expect favorable conditions for rapid fire spread if a fire were to start #pdxtst #orwx #wawx (1/2)

@wendi_c_thomas deserves all the flowers. Wendi has the audacity to center working class Memphians when violent misinformation is the status quo. Wendi has the humility to keep learning as she fights. Wendi gives this Chicago girl hope in a deep red state. Thank you, Wendi
