SPJ is deeply concerned about the raid on the Marion County Record. SPJ is offering help covering up to $20,000 in legal fees for the newsroom, and condemns this brazen action taken by law enforcement to stop the flow of information. https://t.co/YW2xz65srH

News about our president…

[Merrill College @ Maryland @merrillcollege]

Some bittersweet news: Adrianne Flynn, who has filled a variety of major roles at Merrill since 1999, will retire on Jan. 1. @CNSmd's Karen Denny will replace her as Merrill’s director of internships and career development. Congratulations to both!

A local nonprofit reaches an agreement to buy The Baltimore Sun. This is a seismic development for local journalism. https://t.co/3WPy9YstNj

After many years as a leader on both the local and national level for @spj_tweets, I am running this year for national President-elect: https://t.co/qlPZM9fYQ1

@spj_tweets members, I would be honored if you would support and vote for me.

I welcome your input and questions

The arrest of @OmarJimenez and @CNN crew by @MnDPS_MSP is a clear abridgment of #pressfreedoms. These journalists work ethically — and often in harm's way — to bring important news to the public. The reporters' unwarranted arrest is inexcusable. https://t.co/hM4xddAkb8

Thank you to everybody who made it to @MdSPJ / @ONA Baltimore's panel discussion on better covering the city for a national audience.

It was moderated by @jaisalnoor with guests @LisaMcCray, @ScottShaneNYT, @AlecMacGillis & Peter Jensen. Please check out their exceptional work!

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

Shane: Nation is so polarized that one side or another will grab onto this headline or that just to prove their point. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

Jensen says local enterprise reporting is key, but less available with cuts to local journalism, including at The Sun. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

Shane says that in writing about Baltimore, there’s a level of awareness that many readers elsewhere may only skim the article only to get an impression. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

McCray: Baltimore is very insular and national publications can help shine a light on dysfunction. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

MacGillis talks about a “weird unreality” among city leaders as violent crime skyrocketed in Baltimore and the need for a “sufficiently harsh light” to get the city to demand better. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

He said if he knew the piece would have reached a broader audience, he wouldn’t have brought up the suburban areas of the late Rep. Cummings’ district, assuming at the time that all readers would know how they are distinct from Baltimore City. #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

The @baltimoresun’s Peter Jensen is talking about the editorial that followed President Trump’s tweets about Baltimore. He said he tried to match the president’s tone but never expected it to “have the kind of resonance that it had.” #bmoreona

[Maryland-Pro SPJ @MdSPJ]

Now, @AlecMacGillis is talking about his March piece for NYT Mag/ProPublica about the rise in violent crime since the 2015 unrest. #bmoreona
