It’s a festival, not a competition: why many journalists would have benefited from being in high school jazz band with me
I don’t think my band director had any idea I’d still be talking about a jazz band festival 20 years later
When I was in high school jazz band, our director described an event as "a festival, not a competition." For the past 20 years, I've repeated that phrase to myself when I get too wrapped up in comparing myself. It's also a phrase that I think would be valuable for journalism as an industry.

In support of trying something new: checking in on the revamped CBS Evening News
There are new anchors, no headlines, a slower A-block, and a bright pink mic for Margaret Brennan
A few early thoughts on the revamped CBS Evening News in my newsletter today. Also - can someone tell me how many colors of microphones are stocked at CBS? I can't stop thinking about the pink one for Margaret Brennan on the first night of the broadcast!

On my mind: objectivity
As I work on putting my thoughts into words, I'm sharing a 2020 essay from Wesley Lowery on this topic that I often revisit
He published it back in 2020, but I'm still thinking about this Wesley Lowery @nytimes.com essay about journalistic objectivity. On my newsletter, I'm sharing a few of my early thoughts on how to practice objectivity now: open.substack.com/pub/journali...
