My latest for @WHQR: there's a big investment in the current budget bill that would create a firefighter training facility. But firefighters say the way it's structured will expose them to toxic forever chemicals. https://t.co/AbCryaIJle
I'm proud to see my colleagues at WHQR announce their union today. As News Director, I'm too far up the management chain to join (and possibly too far down to negotiate), but I salute and support their efforts. Like many other fine union shops, I believe we'll be better for it.
Unionizing newsrooms matters. I started at a paper in 2017 I was making $12.26 an hour.
I have a political science degree and made 24k pre tax annually. Yes I know I picked this career, but itโs important. If you think news is getting worse ask who can afford that income.
I feel so lucky to work here as my first full-time position out of college.
My co workers are some of the most amazing people I know.
Big hearts and big minds, that deserve fair compensation for their selfless work.
Journalism is important, and so are the people who do it.
Hannah was actually the person who celebrated my first ever byline with me in Boston.
Sheโs been motivating to watch and itโs wonderful having her only a few hours away!
GO BU!
Much love to the @whqr team for opening their beautiful waterfront newsroom to this traveling political reporter.
It was a special day reconnecting with one of my close college friends after three years apart. Iโll always love reporting alongside you, @CamiReports! Go Terriers!
In Boston we learned to never mess with those raptor dinosaurs.. If you see them, cross the street and mind your own business. If they square up, be loud and run.
Labeling @NPR state-affiliated media is wholly inaccurate and untruthful. NPR gets LESS THAN 2% of its funding from grants through the federal government. NPRโs newsroom is an absolutely free and independent newsroom; always has been. This label is a LIE and an insult.
The bill to ban TikTok is absolutely terrifying. It gives the government the ability to go after anyone they deem as a national security risk at which point they can access everything from their computer to video games to their ring light.
This is a Patriot Act for the internet.
WERE ALMOST THERE! I PULLED OUT THE GREMLIN VOICE AND ILL DO IT AGAIN IF I MUST!!!!
(This is me sincerely thanking everyone thatโs ever supported โHQR. Whether or not you realize it, youโre supporting early career journalists like me and reassuring me that what I do is worthy.)
Thank you for all of your support of WHQR! If you have yet to pledge, please consider doing so now by calling 910-343-1138 or visit https://t.co/RJBQ7eJ9u9
