Updated again with partisan breakdown. Take a look.

And if you appreciate all the work done on this blog and by the amazing Team @TheNVIndy, please consider a recurring monthly donation.

Or a seven-figure one. Your call.

What makes @flatwaterfreep a success isn't just our dogged reporters.

It's the thousands of Nebraskans who read our stories, send in tips, and donate to power our newsroom.

Thanks to the nearly 400 of you who celebrated our growth and impact last night:

Beyond the job losses, there is a steep spiritual cost to the decline of local news.

We get meaning from being members of unique local places. That sense of place is weakened w/o local news. And our ties to our neighbors atrophies when we have few ways to learn about them.

One particular piece of the journalism model that's broken? How news organizations measure their readership.

That's why @19thnews has invented a new metric: Total Journalism Reach:

It's a good day to subscribe to your local news outlet, wherever that is -- or any local news outlet.

Budding Journalists: You don't need to take down an institution to make a difference in the lives of readers. Impact comes in all sizes. Don't underestimate the influence a short feature, or a 600-word news story, or a well-done Q.& A. or even a brief, can have on someone's life.

[International Women's Media Foundation @IWMF]

We are joining 800+ journalists and media workers demanding an end to the killing of journalists in Gaza and the wider region.

The IWMF is launching its new "Newsroom Safety Across America" training program! Ahead of what promises to be a tenuous year, I’m proud to back this effort by the IWMF to keep local journalists safe across the U.S.

Bravo to @mukhtaryare for his leadership at @SahanJournal (and in the field of local news more broadly). @JournalismPoj has much pride in playing a small role in Sahan's growth. Mukhtar has positioned the org for a powerful future and we're excited for what's next.

[Yanqi Xu @yanqixu_]

Being a reporter, I never wanted to make myself the story. But this time, I thought there’s more at stake than myself. I think about the community I represent, and who might find the governor’s comment hurtful. A thread:

[mattwynn @mattwynn]

Reporter Yanqi Xu did some good journalism.

Rather than respond to her findings, Jim Pillen went on the radio and said that her work wasn't worth reading because of where she came from.

How embarrassing. Infuriating. Sad.

[Flatwater Free Press @flatwaterfreep]

New @flatwaterfreep: Yanqi Xu wrote story about wells on Gov. Pillen’s hog farms testing sky high for nitrate, which can seep into drinking water.
Pillen response on KFAB: He said Yanqi is Chinese and “What more do you need to know?”
