Periodic reminder for those who work in news: It's been a hell of a heavy time. Take time to walk away from the feeds. Go outside and feel the sun on your face. Be kind to yourself and to others. Don't tune out or burn out. We need you.

And @griffithgreene is the Service Journalism Editor at @washingtonpost. Her areas of expertise include collaborating across teams, creating new positions, and developing relationships and finding allies. 🤝

It’s taken me a few days to post about this. I’m devastated about the loss of @steve_trumper, who was formative for how I understand journalism, and a mentor to me and to so many others. 🧵
Steve was a peculiar sort in that he was both cheery and savage in the best way an editor can be.
He would hit your draft in a way that left you feeling elated. It’s hard to describe but it’s a magic power that few editors possess, because it never came from a place of ego.
I have known Zoe for 30 years, and her piece here is a difficult and painful read. And, having watched the conversation about this unfold for the past few days, it's also terribly sad how this seems to have been handled, both before and after publication.
I was sexually assaulted when I was 16.
this summer, @PenguinRandomCA published a memoir by one of my assailants claiming my rape was consensual.
now I'm ready to share my story:

As news consumption evolves for younger generations and new platforms, this point by @griffithgreene -- understanding what info people need AND in what form -- is where publishers and news SEOs will win or lose the battle for audiences. wtfseo.substack.com/p/ask-a-…

Sometimes people ask me what it feels like to live in America. And I think it feels like this article: billypenn.com/2022/10/30/chi… via @billy_penn
Neema was one of the first people I met at the Post, years before I came to work here. She was incredibly kind and generous, on top of doing such good and important work. Such a profound loss for this world.
