Missouri’s chief legal officer has thoughts on trials.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@rftmusic Had to be said.

[Maurice Chammah🍹🎻 @MauriceChammah]

This is one of the best local criminal justice journalists in the U.S.

If you're a national outlet interested in stories out of St. Louis (and Ferguson!) this is your person.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@vic_stef @RiverfrontTimes Well, you nailed that one and many after it. You'll be the legacy. I'm glad I got to play a small role.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@MonicaObradovic @rftmusic I’m sure it did. Maddening.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

An RFT secret: Despite his madman personae, Daniel is actually a super reliable, meticulous, productive dream of a co-worker. Be smart and scoop him up.

[Daniel Hill @rftmusic]

RIP RFT 1977-2024

helluva run, honestly held out longer than anyone could have imagined.

if anyone has a line on a suitable job for a degenerate lunatic who happens to have a way with words, hit up [email protected]

thanks for reading!

Sarah taught me so much. And what a team she had. It's a tragedy to see it busted up.

[Sarah Fenske @sarahfenske]

Well, on this story the RFT got scooped, and @stlpublicradio has a good overview of what we know about its future. It breaks my heart that the good stories we were working on won't be published. It breaks my heart that good people lost their jobs today https://t.co/bIubkGFfdZ

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

Well, this thread made me smile. And I'm so glad Monica became a journalist. We're better for it.

[Monica Obradovic @MonicaObradovic]

Reading @DoyleMurphy @rftmusic @D_Towski @sarahfenske and so many more in the RFT is a big reason why I became a journalist. To say this alt-weekly will be missed is an understatement. 🧵of a few bangers:

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@EricLBerger @RiverfrontTimes @sarahfenske You're one of the great talents to pass through the paper—not to mention an easy edit.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

Wrecked by this. The RFT was a newspaper like no other. But I like knowing RFT alumni, including Kavahn, are working all over the country, injecting a bit of that energy, creativity and hunger for telling stories into their work.

[Kavahn Mansouri @kavahnmansouri]

The RFT served as my first professional newsroom.
@sarahfenske gave me a shot as an intern. Now I'm covering its death and I feel like I've been stabbed.

“It’s devastating for St. Louis."

@sarahfenske Looks great!

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@D_Towski As it is written: Let he who has never been so high as to mistake a parked car for a running dog cast the first person who questions him into jail.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@sarahfenske Will no one do something about these roaming dogs bedeviling police? “Wozniak later claimed she was braking for a dog that ran in front of her, but fellow cops were suspicious.” https://t.co/EvfA7AVz1F

@javadesq Unassailable

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

More than a quarter of our DJs disagreed w/ our BOLD NEW VISION. We fired 10 and sent the others for reeducation training. Happy fund drive!

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@WorldOfWard But they hired a consultant.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

@soldbr You could almost forgive the Grand Center overreach, but doing this to your people and audience is just… wow.

[Doyle Murphy @DoyleMurphy]

Cool opportunity for newsrooms in the Miss. River Basin (covers 31 states, if you're counting) to host an environmental reporter through @agwaterdesk and @Report4America . https://t.co/qTRPBps64R
