1/ Three years ago, I was in the weeds working on what would become White Lies, @TBowmanNPR swung by to tell me about an alleged coverup early in the Iraq War. Together, we dug in. Today, we’re sharing what we’ve learned in NPR’s new podcast Taking Cover. https://t.co/IwlW8SErFW

Reaction to NPR's reporting as the State Department prepares to retreat from Human Rights reporting: https://t.co/i5aDwhi4Tg

@curtismorrison Rep. Issa's desire for a report that includes "Gender-based discrimination and violence" will be tough where State doesn't seem to want to track that anymore...

[Paul O'Brien @dpaulobrien]

US monitoring of human rights overseas may be about to change drastically. If this happens, it will be catastrophic for human rights defenders, asylum applicants, and many others. And could impact human rights accountability here at home.

More prisoners were freed, and one of the detainees asked the photographer, “What is happening?” The photographer replied, “Assad has fallen. Look at how happy he is.”

@BobBoilen Bob, you are a gem and a legend. What a great run. I’ll miss seeing you in the halls, miss the incredible talent you’ve attracted into the building and onto the air. But I hope I’ll still see you in the clubs!

[Ailsa Chang @ailsachang]

So excited to honor some incredible journalists. See you soon, @RTDNA and New York City!

[Knight Foundation @knightfdn]

Local newspaper closures have led to fading civic engagement, eroding social bonds, surging misinformation, & dwindling government accountability. Today, 20+ funders, including @KnightFdn, are launching #PressFWD, a national fund to revitalize local news. (1/4)

NEW: Oliver Anthony blasts Fox News for using his song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ at the GOP debate, says it made him “crack up” because he wrote that song about “those people.”

“It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news try to identify with me like I'm one of them. It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and act like we're fighting the same struggle here.”

“It was funny seeing it at the presidential debate 'cause it's like I wrote that song about those people, you know, so for them to have to sit there and listen to that, uh, that cracks me up.”

[Graham Smith @GPublic]

@elisewho one of Gilkey’s favorite songs to sing endlessly in Afghanistan. “i’m at the pizza Hut…”

[Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon]

A bit awkward but apparently there was a LaLa Land/Moonlight situation with the Murrows this year and I won an award for my reporting on the Fall of Roe.

Obviously I’m honored and feel bad for everyone about the glitch, but mistakes happen. Thank you!
