POV: Your boss hosts a swanky party celebrating women in journalism but doesn’t pay most of her own journalists a living wage. 🧐

I feel like I talk about this every quarter, but I’ll say it again. We’re not being invested in. The days of Black ppl, especially women/queer folks/etc., being staff writers are a thing of the past. There are still a few left, but most of us have been forced into freelancing.

The worst part about this cyclical “where are the Black journalists/Black women in hip-hop media” conversation is nothing is gonna change. Non-Black ppl rule media, *especially* hip-hop. We’ve been sidelined in our own game. Most ppl see these discussions, shrug, and move on.

What’s happening? Just wanted to share a quick 🧵of some of the best stories I’ve done in 2024. Won’t be in chronological order tho.

Be on the lookout for the best of photos on IG.

Make 2025 the year you switch from Goodreads to StoryGraph! Bezos owns Goodreads, and StoryGraph has a search function that actually works, has a terrific interface, and is black-woman-owned! An easy and free choice!!

Pretty much every single train from Boston to NYC is cancelled today… a train that already is slower than trains were in 1960s in most of the world…. The richest country of the world can run drones all over the world but not basic infrastructure for its own people

Good morning, $42,500 is not a living wage in DC @merrillwilliams

"Media companies that replace their writers with AI, continue to chase traffic by doing the same articles everyone else is doing, and focus heavily on appeasing social media platforms will continue to struggle," @jason_koebler predicts. https://t.co/Ps3LOcfedU

A member of Jocelyn Benson’s PAC tells me they may prohibit press from attending future community conversation events with local lawmakers “to make everyone feel safe.” I asked for an email to reach out ahead of the next event and they refused to provide one.

✊🎉WE HAVE A DEAL 🎉✊

We are thrilled to announce we have reached a tentative three-year agreement with @NYtimes, pending ratification by our members. There’s so much to share but here are just a few highlights of the deal:

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

So many news leaders have completely abandoned the behaviors of good journalists/editors. They have no creativity, no curiosity and no connection to their community. Once their overlords pay them enough to go on vacation twice a year, they stop caring to tell good stories.

[Mohana Ravindranath @ravindranize]

Tough news: I’m impacted by layoffs at @STATNews. It’s an incredibly difficult time for journalism, but health reporting is so crucial & I encourage you to support STAT & other outlets when you can. On to the next thing — find me at [email protected] with ideas!

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

The Biden administration, especially, is depending on Gaza to be completely eradicated, not only on the ground, but also from our collective attention and consciousness. I also don’t doubt that there are editors in some newsrooms that are happy to not have to focus on Gaza.

[Jason Koebler @jason_koebler]

wrote about the ritual of rifling through a suspect's internet accounts and pretending that any and all morsels of information are somehow relevant

You can no longer see the exact time a tweet was made. Major blow for reporters and journalists. Elon knows how to make it harder for us and is doing a great job so far.
