Here’s your Friday news dump:
I’ve joined @USATODAY as an investigative and storytelling editor.
I’m thrilled to be working closely with such a talented group of writers.
Personal news: My final day as a Sports Reporter for @TheNewsPress and @NDN will be June 12th.
I’m set to join the national high school sports desk at USA Today. Thank you so much to @rick_suter for this amazing opportunity.
But before then, a open letter to Southwest Florida:
Our big news! So proud of @aglorios and the work we did here. There are so many people we’re going to miss.
I still have stories to write before we leave, though 😉
Really excited to share that I’m joining @propublica and @TexasTribune’s Texas team to do statewide political and health investigations. Honored, grateful and humbled to get to do the work I love alongside some of the best in the business 🙌🏻 @lmower3 and I are moving to Austin in August! https://t.co/iyK3GaNQTP
The Orlando Sentinel updated their obituary over the weekend with good details/quotes about my mom's impact on the Orlando community. A good testament to her impact.

Jane was an old-school journalist in all the best ways. She also hired me.
She had a tough ending to her life but still wanted to talk about and promote solid, local journalism to the very end.

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.
RIP Andy Barnes of @TB_Times. He was a great conversationalist, a booster of #Florida#journalism and was beloved by my dear, departed chosen family, Lucy and Richard Morgan. https://t.co/6UBD3EhftW
