Our Nieman Fellow Brent Renaud was gifted and kind, and his work was infused with humanity. He was killed today outside Kiev, and the world and journalism are lesser for it. We are heartsick.

Mysterious djinns, impossible choices, unexpected love… I see so much of myself in 'A Dutiful Boy' – that’s what makes this book electric. Thank you @mohsinzaidi_ldn for reminding me of things I had long left behind but see the urgency of returning to.

Nick explains why the crisis facing theatre is so urgent and important. “What's the difference between an aeroplane and a theatre?”

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

"Unless there is a substantial rescue package we are looking at waves of insolvencies. We are looking at the whole cultural ecosystem breaking down. This is not just theatres."

- a stark warning from Nicholas Hytner, former artistic director of the National Theatre.

Love every episode of Talking Heads but The Outside Dog, directed by my sister, is unobjectively the best. On iPlayer now and BBC One tomorrow night. https://t.co/OJmVOT2fgG

We are hiring! Everyone wants to be innovative but few have the permission to do it. The BBC is creating bold concepts for a radically new service grounded in video. We are hiring three roles – product, project, UX - to join our innovation team. Come work with us.

On 23 March 2017, Mexican investigative journalist Miroslava Breach was killed in front of her home. Since then, the official investigation has left loose ends. A collective of international journalists has taken over this investigation. Discover #ProyectoMiroslava

@Zielina @CUNY @jeffjarvis Fantastic! This is needed and you are perfect to make it happen.

I can’t stop looking at this picture. The unconditional love of Niemans is what makes this the best fellowship imaginable. Thank you for welcoming Luna into the family #Nieman80

[Ann Marie Lipinski @AMLwhere]

The ⁦@niemanfdn⁩ class of 2017 FaceTiming with missing fellow ⁦@JassimA⁩ and his newborn baby Luna during our reunion is everything I love. #Nieman80

"Journalism is not The New York Times, or BuzzFeed, or the Miami Herald. When you strip everything down to its essential function, journalism is a system for collecting, synthesizing, verifying and distributing news. Everything else is just form." https://t.co/1o8jBCOmYH

All of us @Reuters stand with our colleagues Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who were unjustly sentenced to seven years in prison in Myanmar for their work as journalists. Here, colleagues in our London newsroom show our support. #FreeWaLoneKyawSoeOo

Brutal and important for the media industry. Michaela Coel observes and educates with her experiences: “interrogate your own morals and beliefs into how you operate” https://t.co/hRPDsWxzQ1

[Jassim Ahmad @JassimA]

A rare positive turn in this horrific ordeal. Returning to prison in 3 days will be very painful #FreeNazanin forever

[Jason Rezaian @jrezaian]

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been granted a conditional 3 day furlough; her first reprieve since her unjust detention in #Iran. She and her little girl Gabriella should be allowed to leave the country immediately and return to her husband Richard in the UK. #FreeNazanin forever.

1/ To celebrate @niemanfdn’s 80th anniversary year, we asked our alumni for examples of journalism that influenced them, their beat, their country or their culture. We’ll soon be publishing 80 answers @NiemanReports. And they’re spectacular.
