It has everything to do with the proliferation of ai and the disappearance of copy desks and copyediting, and that constant reminder of those things is part of why it irritates the hell out of me

Em dashes went from being my favorite to most hated punctuation. They’re like bukowski’s thing on drinking (drink when you’re happy, sad or bored). People use them for every type of punctuation they should be using instead and also when they should just start a second sentence and I’m so tired of it

The website for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is completely scrubbed and gone! They didn't even leave a legacy statement.

To “remove writing from reporters’ workloads” is to remove reporters’ critical engagement with a topic. The writing is an inextricable part of the process. It’s hard. It takes time. That’s the point! There are no shortcuts for writing and reporting, and AI can hardly approximate it. Stop doing this.

This week Mario Ceballos' truck was found abandoned along a Canadian Co. highway, launching a police search. He'd been on his way to work, and El Reno PD told his family, "if ICE did this, we'd know about it and the truck wouldn't be sitting here." (1/2)

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

I Had a Dream Journalism Job. Here's Why I Quit. The rot that hollowed out trust in corporate media finally reached OPB. I had to go.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

2/9 PM UPDATE: Joining the list of AJC layoffs are:

· Alia Pharr, a metro Atlanta local government reporter
· Maya T. Prabhu, a statehouse reporter whose last day will be the end of the ongoing state legislative session

Again: every single person laid off has been a woman and/or a person of color

I once worked on a big analytics project for a different newsroom and we worked very, very hard to not have takeaways come from raw data - because it would have made us a viral-only outlet. www.niemanlab.org/2014/04/buil...

Breaking: Washington Post gutting its climate team Clean energy dies in darkness. Courtesy of Jeff Bezos.

The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.

A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.

Some news: Post Reports has come to an end - and so has my decade at The Washington Post. Right now, mixed in with some righteous indignation on behalf of my brilliant colleagues, I mostly feel gratitude. When I was hired as a print reporter in 2016, I showed up with one driving ambition: I was a podcast evangelist, and my dream was to make audio ... at a newspaper. (Trust me, at the time, many people thought this was a pretty kooky idea!) The Post gave me the chance to make that dream real. Newsroom leadership trusted me to launch and host the paper's flagship news podcast. I worked with some of the most talented reporters and audio producers on the planet. Together we made more than 1,600 (!!!) episodes of Post Reports, and I also had the opportunity to report and host an investigative podcast series along the way. I was lucky enough to win two Peabody Awards, and to help build an immense, devoted audience of listeners. While I'm deeply disappointed by how the show was ended - particularly the treatment of my brilliant, dedicated colleagues on the audio team — I'd be lying if I said I'm not also excited to think about what life beyond Post Reports will look like for me .. a chance to grow in new directions I've been dreaming about for a while.

While I'm deeply disappointed by how the show was ended — particularly the treatment of my brilliant, dedicated colleagues on the audio team - I'd be lying if I said I'm not also excited to think about what life beyond Post Reports will look like for me ... a chance to grow in new directions I've been dreaming about for a while. I'm incredibly proud of the work our team produced - the stories we told, the voices we amplified, and the audience we built. Audio journalism is deeply collaborative, and I'm grateful to the producers, editors, reporters, engineers, and listeners who made the show what it was.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

Don’t worry everyone, I have a plan to personally save journalism. I simply need to make a billion dollars and not be corrupted by my newfound wealth

It's hard. when I freelanced, I basically treated it like a traditional job with office hours and blocked off time to do specific tasks (ex: sending pitches, interviews, writing)

lol I went back and checked the tape and the full quote is actually even nerdier than I remembered — and in the recording, you can hear the crowd *loving it.*

Here are the signs the Trump administration removed from Independence Park Following last year’s review, every sign has been removed from the President’s House site.

Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting
