When people in the town you cover “discover” something you reported in depth one week earlier

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

@thepressboxpod @bryancurtis @DavidShoemaker Loved your report on the Lakeville Journal. As the editor of a small weekly based out of Livingston, NJ it was great to hear excitement for true local news! If you ever want to focus on that some more on a slow week, I’m happy to help!

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

@wwesthoven I imagine the Israel rally in Livingston tomorrow will also not provide seating. I’m fine with everything returning to normal, it’s just the municipal meetings. Let me stay home.

I understand the reasons that smokers should be vaccinated (limiting hospital admissions, etc.). People who were in group 1B and now will have to wait several more months have every right to be upset about this decision. Calling that anger a false narrative is salt in the wound.

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

Teachers and other essential workers who were told they were next got cut in line this week by two million smokers. The governor may have his reasons, but there is absolutely nothing false about that narrative. There will be people who die because they chose NOT to smoke.

Truly curious how future grade school U.S. History textbooks will frame these past few years.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

3,544,719 New Jerseyans have already voted – 90% of 2016 turnout.

Turnout is likely to be the highest in state history.

When you open-up access to the ballot and welcome every eligible voter – and don’t try to disenfranchise voters – our democracy is made stronger.

If you love drama, gossip and reality TV, you really need to subscribe to your local paper. It’s literally drama and gossip about people in your town?!!?! Like, who wouldn’t want to read that?!! A better person than me I guess! Digital subscriptions are so CHEAP, just try one out

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

Chaotic good

Every journalist falls into one of these categories when writing/researching a story.

[Michael Izzo @IzzoTribune]

If 2020 hasn’t given you 2,020 reasons to vote, I don’t know what to tell you.

[Jessie Gómez @jessiereport]

More than 50 Morris County faith leaders, including @JerseyTogether call on Gov. Murphy to appoint a new county prosecutor who will address racial disparities in the County's criminal justice system... More @dailyrecord

This is absolutely terrifying

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

“The cardinal rule is, ‘don’t delay the mail,’ and we’re in a 180-degree switch where we’re delaying mail every day,” adding that if the system is not fixed before election season, “it’s going to be a catastrophe.”

THIS IS ON PURPOSE.

I’m filing this lawsuit because a press badge should not be a bullseye. Today I’m standing for the 1st Amendment rights of journalists who report on police misconduct.

This is just... wow.

Here is a high res version of the Cuomo pandemic poster he unveiled today.

This first-person account of a Black woman growing up and attending school in the largely white and affluent town of Livingston, New Jersey is a must read.
