I've spent months looking into New Zealand's water system for @businessdesk_nz. I found:
Kiwis are at risk because of a lack of investment. Council water supplies lack recommended filtration.
Measures designed as Band-Aids are used as long-standing policies. 1/
Thank you to everyone who has offered support for the Washington Post journalists impacted by today’s layoffs. If you would like to buy some beers or food to support our colleagues today, you can Venmo me. We are so grateful for your kind words, truly. https://t.co/wlIPR6gixw
These Washington Post cuts are so dumb. The reporters were all doing incredible work in a brutal environment - and they fired some of these folks in a war zone.
I grew up reading WaPo and it's part of why I'm a journalist today. It's heartbreaking to see what's become of it.
@rwoolington@washingtonpost This is so unfathomably dumb andI'm sorry you're going through this. I'll keep an eye out for any openings and send them your way.
Some personal news: After less than three months @washingtonpost, I was among those laid off today. Devastated for all my colleagues who were affected. Thank you to those who have reached out. I appreciate you so much. Please keep me in mind for any openings ❤️
I've officially reached the crying stage of layoffs. If anyone wants to buy a beer for the 280+ people now gone from @washingtonpost please Venmo @AnnahBackstrom, below! We also have a GoFundMe. Some of my colleagues have newborns. Others are in war zones https://t.co/yhSqUUtz0P
🧵 If you can spare a couple of hours, please read this groundbreaking, yearlong global investigation by my @business colleagues into the money, opportunity & exploitation into the booming fertility industry. I guarantee once you start reading you won't be able to stop

I think @MediaChaplaincy is setting the framework for what could be a crucial tool to help journalists around the world.
I would love to hear from a few more Kiwi journalists about their experience and how sitting for a yarn with a chaplain may have been helpful. #JournoRequest
Media personnel, if you're someone who has sat down with myself or one of our media chaplains & found it helpful there's a journalist, @ZackNewsMan, who has moved back to the States & is doing a story about @MediaChaplaincy. He would love to hear from you https://t.co/TPYfNXofQs
@Marshall9News I've run into this a lot lately. I think it is a tactic to try to get time/control over a situation or a byproduct of needing more people to sign-off before an interview happens
