@iamlegacy23 The mom being non-custodial is according to who, though? There’s no mystery why there’s no alert

Got an important opportunity to cover the #PrattvilleLibrary for @NPR and @MorningEdition. The local library is often described as the epicenter of Alabama’s #bannedbooks and related controversies. #NationalLibraryWeek

Thoughtful thread!

Thread: Want to think out loud about what I've seen and experienced since joining NPR a few years ago. I was hired during NPR's "North Star" era when diversity was established as a priority. I'm an aging rural white man (58 years old). Never graduated college. Didn't see NYC...1/

I never would have imagined that my son, Geologist Daniel Robinson, would have gone missing. He has many dreams and aspirations, which he shared with me on many occasions during our two-hour talks. I would love to see Daniel complete those. Please help share his story. GOD Bless!

@BrianMannADK Great story!

[Joseph Cranney @joey_cranney]

It’s easy to treat the media as a punching bag. But look to the nation’s local newsrooms. For little money or recognition, reporters in 2023 stood up to power brokers who tried to bully them into silence, exposed corrupt officials and even saved lives. Proof, from every state:

[Please Help Find Daniel @PleaseHelpFind4]

This Holiday Season, please keep my son, Geologist Daniel Robinson, and our family in your prayers. Don't forget to share a story every week of a Missing Person. A family is dependent on you. Happy Holidays to you and everyone you love. GOD BLESS!! - @DavidRobinsonII 2021 - 2023

one of my 7th graders just brought back a book and said "I realized I didn't like scary books," as they checked out a happy romance. And, yet again, this is why WE TRUST STUDENTS WITH THEIR OWN READING CHOICES. I cannot stress enough that kids GET this.

Jimmy Buffett, the bard of Margaritaville, who died on Friday at 76, took a form of laid-back dressing instantly recognizable to anyone who ever hung around a boatyard and made it mainstream both at home and abroad. https://t.co/dQj4Lw8neF

A growing number of gyms are renting out desks so people can spend the day doing remote work and working out. "The setup lets her toggle between self-care and her job, in comfortable clothes." https://t.co/Ejn5aYG7gL

Another update for NPR on the #CarleeRussell case. She now faces 2 misdemeanor charges for an alleged kidnapping hoax earlier this month. She’s been released on bond.

[Troy Public Radio @TroyPublicRadio]

@troypublicradio's @AnnCatherineK reports for @NPR News on the arrest of #CarleeRussell. Earlier this month Russell claimed to have been kidnapped from the side of a highway, later she admitted this was a hoax:

[Ann Kenda @AnnCatherineK]

Got a chance to report on this kidnapping hoax story for NPR. Here’s hoping that she gets some help, and that it doesn’t deter volunteers from helping with urgent searches in the future.

Wade was one of the first journalists I met at NPR. He was a smart and fun writer. he was a generous colleague and he taught me a lot. we’ll miss you…https://t.co/kuocmRA6KQ

[Ann Kenda @AnnCatherineK]

Just unintentionally laughed on the air for the first time in years. It was the fault of the recently retired Mr. Buddy Johnson, who tried (and succeeded) in making me do this. I know it sounded odd. Back to serious news voice!
