Sadly I am one of the many who found out their position was eliminated today. It has been an absolute honor to work with such a hardworking group of people. I have a lot to figure out. But if anyone is hiring, especially in the NYC area, please reach out.
NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note — which says the layoffs are because of “changes in the media business”

As journalists it often feels like we’re not allowed to have feelings and we have to put our work before ourselves. We forget we’re human beings and ourselves first. This needs to change. Let’s talk how at 11:30 am in Habor B. #NICAR24
Good morning, #NICAR24! @kboorath, @JasmineHanYe and I will be leading a commons session at 11:30 a.m. in Harborside B: “Taking care: Navigating our mental health as journalists.” This will be an off-the-record, roundtable-style discussion. Details here schedules.ire.org/nicar-2024…

Attention newsrooms; Words matter. “Racially motivated” can mean a lot of things — or nothing. The Jacksonville shooting was a *racist* attack.

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/

@SusanBenesch has been studying speech that sparks genocide - and found that the key feature is that it persuades “people to perceive other members of a group as a terrible threat. That makes violence seem acceptable, necessary or even virtuous.” /3

American journalism has been stuck in a circular debate about "objectivity" while our industry - and our democracy - die. It's time to move on. But to do so, the journalistic establishment must recognize critiques for what they actually are. cjr.org/analysis/a-test-of-t…

She would rather her child be dead than consider gender-affirming care. Describes her suicidal child as manipulative & attempting to destroy their family. Everything about her child’s safety, dignity & happiness is framed by her own discomfort with gender-affirming care.
This Montana lawmaker who led the charge for banning gender-affirming care for minors in the House gives a shocking argument for her bill based on her own family’s experience. (Extended version)
