Three, watch @keithmaitland's stunning documentary, which puts a new perspective on the story - Tower remains one of the great Austin films of all time, and a documentary that will stay with you. @TOWERfilm https://t.co/8n9cXASVix
Little Richard was discovered by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. He’s bonafide mt. Rushmore level early rock n roll, and she was the earthquake that upended those mountains in the first place.
The first film inspired by the 1966 TX Tower shooting is up on @criterionchannl — TARGETS (1968) by Peter Bogdanovich — an interesting look bts of that film here:

Well, we saw this one coming. Thanks @Tribeca for selecting @dearmrbrody. Looking forward to the day when we can bring Brody's story back to NYC, where it started.
More to come...

In a decade plagued by the scourge of mass school shootings, the best examination of their impact came in the form of this animation that took us right back to the first one. I’d also recommend NEWTOWN if you’re not miserable enough.

Natalie has been doing consistently excellent work writing about best practices for journalists. Her latest, about the shift from covering perpetrators of mass shootings to victims, is worth your time 👇🏼
