"The past year has shone a light on the need for more conversations around mental health, but too often, news organizations are not taking the issues seriously enough."

"I've watched some of the national news or even in the local news and maybe they don't feel the Black perspective as we [@MNSpokesman] do. ... [Other media are] looking at it as news, and we're looking at it as like, we deal with this daily." https://t.co/UAdtooOJDm

As the Biden administration redefines infrastructure, should funding local journalism be part of the plan to meet the needs of the American people? Interesting take on how the government could step in to revive the country’s “news deserts”: https://t.co/vWQzkcNGC3

ICYMI: @WAVY10Bob shared the wisdom he's gained as a news producer over the last 28 years! That includes how being a member of @nlgja and @spj_tweets has helped his career and why he encourages all journalists to join a professional organization: https://t.co/yNv9YuNmJS

[Society of Professional Journalists @spj_tweets]

SPJ stands with @aaja and SPJ's Asian American members in urging reporters to be responsible and fair in covering the Asian community following the shootings March 16 in Atlanta. We also urge our peers to follow AAJA's powerful guidance to newsrooms. https://t.co/xaNlF3JVec

[Chenue Her @ChenueHer]

I didn’t notice until some friends pointed it out, but that deep breath/sigh I let out after @aishahowardtv tossed to me just happened.

I still keep searching for the right words but I think that accidental sigh was the best way I could communicate. My AAPI folks, I love y’all.

[Press Pass Media @_PressPassMedia]

NEW POST: Excited to share this inspiring chat with @WAVY10Bob! He’s been a news producer for 28 years & worked at 7 different stations. As you can imagine he has tons of great advice whether you’re just starting out in local news or are several years in: https://t.co/yNv9YuNmJS

[Chenue Her @ChenueHer]

As I said in my talk with @SammySaldivar, a big reason why I wanted to get into TV journalism was because I never saw someone who looked like me on TV. Today, I’m still the only Hmong male TV reporter. I hope that changes. https://t.co/ktMbQvTUtd

[Chenue Her @ChenueHer]

Someone in Atlanta sent me this message today & it didn’t only bring me joy as an Asian American journalist, but continues to show me the value there is in representation. Viewers notice, & value representation too. To this person, thank u, & I’ll always do my best to rep for us.

ICYMI: "A lot of it falls on producers' shoulders... We're the ones in the back room doing the dirty work, and we're putting this beautiful product on air, and the viewer would never be the wiser." @ashtonvadams @producerprobs https://t.co/Dkz4qIQIwo
